The businessmen and the Senior Citizen of these area have suggested that to save this old & traditional Sweetmeat Industry the Panchayet Samity and Gram Panchayet should under-take programme to plant more and more Date-palm in these areas and the agricultural department of the Govt. should help to materialize the programme of Date-palm plantation which can only solve the problem of supply of good quality of Date-Palm juice, which is the main ingredient of 'Moya" preparation. The agricultural Deptt. should also find out ways and means for the agriculture of "Kanakchur Paddy" which is another main ingredient of 'Moya' production. At the same time, proper step should be taken by the Authority to issue Trade & Food License to the Temporary businessmen so that quality of product may be maintained. At the end the permanent and original businessmen should unit and be alert as regards the quality of their product, so that this original business of Joynagar may be saved from bad name and ultimately ruin.
