Officials told to expedite setting up of industrial units in Sri Sathya Sai district
District Collector T.S. Chetan on Wednesday informed the officials to actively support young entrepreneurs and speed up the establishment of new industrial units in Sri Sathya Sai district. Addressing the District Industrial Exports Promotion Committee (DIEPC) meeting here, the Collector highlighted the need for coordinated efforts among departments to make the district's industrial landscape vibrant.
Mr. Chetan observed that the industrial sector holds the key to economic progress and employment generation. With the State government's vision, the officials should focus on attracting industrial investments as per the new industrial policy. This would result in employment opportunities for unemployed youth and provide incentives to the entrepreneurs.
Mr. Chetan inspected the applications for industrial clearances, which were submitted through the single desk portal, and instructed the officials to clear pending cases without delay. The Collector further asked the officials to intensify awareness about industrial schemes and unit establishment among the target group.
He said that the Industries Department officials should conduct awareness programmes under the World Bank-supported Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) initiatives.
General Manager (Industries) J. Nagaraj, District Factories Officer Radhakrishna, and senior officials from the APIIC, APSPDCL, APSFC, and Pollution Control Board took part in the meeting.
