The Board of Directors and staff of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) have expressed sadness at the death of one of its members, Bissessar Chintamani, founder and CEO of Triple C Consultancy and Modern Security.
In a statement yesterday, the GMSA said that Chintamani was recently appointed to the GMSA’s Executive Board.
“This appointment recognized him as an invaluable contributor to the Agri-Sector, having demonstrated his commitment and passion towards advancing the sector since joining the membership.
“He was an advocate for cultivating non-traditional crops and used many innovative techniques and solutions to encourage farmers to undertake large-scale production”, the GMSA said.
It added that Chintamani recently partnered with the University of the West Indies
(UWI) in an initiative which offered free online courses to GMSA members.
“His contributions were well recognized and impacted many small farmers country-wide. His passion was always to empower farmers and see them develop. He was committed to that cause and pursued it with vigour and relentless drive”, the GMSA added.
It said that in December 2020, Chintamani was the recipient of the GMSA’s Award in recognition of his efforts in sharing knowledge with agro-processors for agriculture initiatives. In 2018 he was also the recipient of the President’s Award in honour of his company’s efforts in promoting the use of technology to enhance primary crop productivity.
The GMSA extended condolences to Chintamani’s family.
