Recently, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry had conducted a survey on MSMEs in Uttarakhand and found that they are significantly contributing to economic growth in the state.
Though the state has taken effective measures for improving the socio-economic conditions, the government must focus on improving the quality of MSMEs in terms of infrastructure, electricity, connectivity and transportation facilities in the coming times,” said president of the PHD Chamber, Sharad Jaipuria, after meeting the chief minister on Saturday.
The state must also leverage the benefits from Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor, which is expected to boost the manufacturing and agriculture sectors, Jaipuria said.
In a nutshell, the state must adopt effective measures to attain high growth by reviving the tourism sector. It should encourage a steady flow of investments for promotion of MSMEs economy.
Jaipuria also assured the chief minister that the Chamber would continue to work with the state government, and help in the state's growth and development in future.
The industry share in GSDP of Uttarakhand was around 36 per cent during 2008-09 which increased to about 38 per cent during 2012-13. (KNN/SD)
