Uttarakhand’s natural beauty and better human resources are attracting industrialists towards Uttarakhand, he claimed.
The Chief Minister said that the suggestions received at the meeting today would be seriously considered. The state government would provide all possible support for rapid development of industrial institutions. It would be the endeavour of the government that big meetings be held at different places of the state, therefore it was decided to organise this meeting of Udyog Mitra in Rudrapur. He said that the government will try to ensure that such meetings are held at least once every six months. Stating that Uttarakhand is still a young state, he said that despite having limited resources, every possible effort is being made by the state government for overall development. A cell has been created for CSR in the state. He appealed to the industry captains present at the meeting to donate generously towards development and social causes in the state through their CSR funds.
Dhami claimed that there is a favourable environment for industrial development in the state. He promised that the height permitted of industrial buildings would be further increased. Sidewalks would be made on roads and gradually the work of removing encroachments has been started, including from industrial areas in the state. Efforts would be made that the industries falling in the white category do not have to take pollution NOCs.
During the meeting, industrialists shared their suggestions for the betterment of industrial units, raised problems and appreciated the simplification done by the government in industrial policies.
Union Minister of State for Defence and Tourism Ajay Bhatt said that the state is fast moving towards development under the leadership of Chief Minister Dhami. The youth should move forward in the field of self-employment.
