New Delhi, Oct. 16 -- Chhattisgarh's industrial development is moving beyond raw material production towards the manufacturing of finished products.
The groundbreaking ceremony for Yash Fans' new manufacturing plant in Nava Raipur, held on Friday in the presence of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, marks an important step in this transition.
With an investment of Rs 152.74 crore, the plant is expected to generate employment for around 3,500 people. It will be the state's first consumer electronics manufacturing plant.
The state government's Industrial Development Policy 2024-30 focuses on attracting investment while expanding employment opportunities.
The Yash Fans project is an important step in this direction. Once operational, the plant is expected to create jobs for young people across the state. Industrial expansion of this kind could also open up employment opportunities for youth from Bastar and other tribal-dominated and remote regions.
Connecting local youth with skill development programmes and recruitment opportunities will be important to ensure that they benefit from this growth.
Chief Minister Sai said providing employment to the youth was the state government's highest priority. The industrial policy has been designed to attract investment, strengthen manufacturing and create more job opportunities for local people.
