Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that providing employment to maximum number of people through industrial development in the State is the State Government highest priority. Prime Minister Modi turned the challenge of corona into opportunity and pledged for Atmanirbhar Bharat. Madhya Pradesh will make maximum participation in fulfilling this resolve.
All facilities will be made available to the industries so that the goal of Atmanirbhar Madhya Pradesh can be achieved fast. Chief Minister Chouhan was addressing the gathering at the inauguration of Pipe and Plates and Coil manufacturing unit set up by the Welspun Group at Jamunia Khejda village near Diwanganj in Raisen district at a cost of Rs 300 crores, 25 kms from Bhopal on Sunday. About 1500 people will get direct and indirect employment from this unit.
Chouhan said that employment of women in industries will be increased. For this, a policy will be prepared after holding a discussion with industrialists. Our women are fully capable to work in such plants. The state government will seriously consider increasing the percentage of women’s participation in industries after consultation with industrialists. Welcoming the move of Welspun Group to employ about 50 percent women, he said that the group’s new plant would become a good example of women’s participation.
The Chief Minister said that Jamunia region is the second most important industrial area of ??Raisen district. Earlier all industries were set up in Mandideep. But with industrial development of this area parallel to Mandideep, other units will come up in this new industrial estate. Some units have already been set up. There will be positive changes in the economy of this entire region. He said that after the invitation for investment given in the year 2018, the Welspun Group worked fast and today the plant is ready. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that better arrangements for health, education and employment will be made possible for the people of this region.
He further said that Madhya Pradesh will play an active role in Prime Minister Shri Modi’s concept of making India a destination for industrial establishment. The Government of Madhya Pradesh is making Welspun Group and similar industrial institutions partners in development. Chief Minister Chouhan said that during the Corona period, the road map of Atmanirbhar Madhya Pradesh has been prepared and preparation has been made for overall development through infrastructure, good governance, health, education and employment. The new unit of the Welspun Group is an important step towards fulfilling the resolve of atmanirbhar Madhya Pradesh. For this, this group deserves to be congratulated because this plant was built in Jamunia in a record time of two years.
Chouhan said that today skill development is the most important. One must be skillful which will help youth in getting employment. The decision of this group to set up a separate unit in this village for skill development is commendable. Madhya Pradesh government is also focusing on skill development. For this, an initiative has been taken to start Global Skill Park in Bhopal.
