The chairman of EPCH, Dileep Baid, promotor of Dileep Industries, said, “EPCH has chalked out a very comprehensive strategy, having a series of initiatives to reach exports of Rs 1 lakh crore.”

He said, “When we reach this target, we expect the industry to employ 70 lakh people. Currently, the sector engages 35 lakh people in the country, including 5 lakh in Rajasthan.”  (KNN Bureau)
