Edible plates, drinking straws from coconut frond win entrepreneurs a meeting with PM

Edible dinner plates from wheat bran and drinking straw from dry coconut fronds are among the innovations that have won hearts, business orders and an invite from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Office for a group of budding entrepreneurs from Kerala.

They are among some 300 innovators from across the country who will meet the Prime Minister on October 17.
