Partha Biswas, Chief (Sales & Marketing), JK Paper also added, “It all begins with paper. It is the foundation for learning and creativity. Actually paper is the only means of communication that embraces the entire planet! The thought that paper leads to deforestation is a myth, as it’s produced using trees obtained through social farm forestry. Paper is environmentally sustainable and indeed an ally in fighting climate change. It’s just like growing any other crop. One should be raring to write, desperate to doodle, proud to print and use paper guilt free. So, go ahead and make an impression by letting the world know more about “you”!”
