Government formulating policies to promote traditional industries & ODOP: Yogi Adityanath

LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated a new building for the Chamber of Industries in Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority’s industrial sector on Friday. He also planted a sapling in the GIDA premises during the function.
Identifying the Chamber of Industries as the main organization for industrial growth in eastern UP, the CM said the demand for a building for the body was raised in 1989.“Traditional industries are the basis of major investment. The state government has formulated policies to develop them. Under the ODOP programme, Gorakhpur’s terracotta work has been identified for development and the government has rolled out programmes to develop the industry and provide it with a market, both national and international,” he said.
The CM has given directions to GIDA to create a land bank for establishment of industries. He said that Gorakhpur has immense possibilities for industrial development. To ensure an investor friendly environment, problems of investors must be sorted out within a set time frame. Bankers should be linked with businesses for easy loans and financing while rules and regulations should be simplified.
Along with development of industries, employment should also be generated and all processes for permissions, making allocations etc should be made online. The Gorakhpur divisional commissioner said that 300 acre land had been identified for industrial development in the district.
