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.

This would result in employment opportunities for unemployed youth and provide incentives to the entrepreneurs.

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.

Will cut red tape, but locals must get jobs: CM to Goa Inc
Panaji: Chief minister Pramod Sawant has promised Goa's private sector fewer bureaucratic delays, greater transparency, and stronger support but sought an assurance that locals would get preference when employment opportunities arise. Sawant also asked Goa Inc to commit to the complete treatment of hazardous waste at the Pissurlem hazardous waste treatment plant. Sawant, who was speaking at the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry's annual body meeting, said that the private sector and govt need to work hand in hand to create an industrial revolution in the state. 'Our focus is clear. To reduce red tape, increase transparency, and support businesses through every stage from registration to expansion,' Sawant said. 'This is govt's focus. I have given instructions to all departments to follow this 100%,' he added. Sawant said govt has already brought 20 services online to improve ease of doing business, with more services being digitised. He also said that self-certification and deemed approval for certain clearances were introduced to make it easier to do business in Goa. 'Over the past 10 years, we spent more than Rs 30,000 crore on public infrastructure, including connectivity from airport to port, port to railway, and rail to national highway,' Sawant said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologists: Losing a Hanging Tummy Comes Down To This 1 Thing Health Wellness Journal Learn more Undo 'We are setting up business facilitation centres and women facilitation centres in the state under the Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance scheme.'

He said that despite the state setting up a facility at Pissurlem to treat hazardous waste, just 50 of the 350 industries that generate hazardous waste have signed up. 'We need to find where the remaining hazardous waste is going. Goa is industry-friendly, but we want hazardous waste to be treated in the right manner,' he said. 'If there are issues, let's discuss them.'
