The State Government has initiated talks with some business houses in Japan, Korea, and the United States to attract investment to the State.
This was revealed at a review meeting on the State’s corona situation chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here on Tuesday.
Besides, the Government has also decided to formulate a model policy to resolve the problems faced by the industries due to the Covid pandemic, said an official.
Senior Government officials would hold discussion with Chamber of Indian Industries, Indian Chamber of Commerce and Banks as early as possible before formulating the model for overcoming the crisis. The State’s MSME sector, which has been hit due to the crisis, would benefit after execution of the policy.
He said the MSME sector has attracted the Government’s attention the most as it provides employment to a large number of people, mostly unskilled and semi-skilled, said the official.
Additional Chief Secretary cum-Special Relief Commissioner PK Jena said the Government has issued necessary orders to facilitate hassle-free inter-district movement of workers.
