A day ahead of the inauguration, Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat inspected the arrangements made at the venue- international cricket stadium, Raipur on Saturday. Rawat directed all the officials concerned to ensure that all arrangements are in place for the event. All the arrangements should be systematic for the convenience and assistance of investors and participants in the summit. Talking informally to the media during his visit to the venue, the Chief Minister said that it is due to the State providing a conducive atmosphere to industrialists that a large number of entrepreneurs are eager to invest in the State.
Investors setting up new industrial enterprises and expanding existing and local enterprises will open a considerable number of employment opportunities. This in turn will help in mitigating the problem of migration.
The Chief Minister said that the investors summit is a historical event in Uttarakhand with the State Government receiving a stream of investors interested in making investments.
The investment to be made as a result of the summit will play an important role in facilitating the desired level of development in the State, he said.
