"We had a big problem with cheques being bounced quite often. The association successfully dealt with this issue and now these activities have stopped because of our push. Overall we have been able to create ethical work culture for the market. Moving forward, this will continue to be a focus area for the association," he added.

Emphasizing the importance of channel interaction, Yogesh Agarwal said that proper interaction between the regional channel community is one of the focus areas for the association in the coming months. "A lot of issues get dissolved when we interact with the positive frame of mind. We want to create an atmosphere for channel players to increase their profitability," he added.

With close to 130 members, KCDA is one of most active associations in the state of UP. "Keeping a tab on the developments with association can be a problem and to address this, we are putting our own website www.kcda.net. This website will have current information about the activities of the association and we will also use this as a way to alert channel community from defaulters in the market," he explained.
