The inaugural executive committee meeting of the newly-elected office-bearers of the Utkal Chamber of Commerce & Industry (UCCI) was held on Friday with its president Brahma Mishra in the chair. Mishra committed to take care of the requirements of all stakeholders.
The event was attended State Industries Principal Secretary Hemant Sharma as chief guest, who assured all support of his department to address the issues on top priority. He informed about the Government’s move under the leadership of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to ease out the various processes so as to attract more investment in the large sector which would help entrepreneurs of the State to come forward for more MSME units and create a proper ecosystem and give a stimulus to the State’s industrialisation which is now on a fast track.
IPICOL MD Nitin B Jawale, guest of honour, informed the recent recognition to the State at national level, which could be possible due to various policy measures adopted by the Government resulting in a lot of interest of investors.
Notably amongst the industry representatives present were from Hindalco, JSL, ESSARMINMET, MAGNUM and many others.
Director Industries Sadique Ahemed, another guest of honour, offered timely redressal of any issues that would be brought to his notice.
Outgoing UCCI president Ramesh Mahapatra was felicitated by the chief guest for his yeomen service to the UCCI for almost a decade.
