Hyderabad, Mar 11 (KNN) About 13,600 industries have been set up in Telangana which has generated over 16 lakh jobs in the industrial sector over a span of six years, said Industries minister K.T. Rama Rao.

“Since the launch of TS-iPASS policy in June 2015 the total investment has been over Rs 2.20 lakh crore which has helped in the progress of the state,” added KTR.

IT sector has seen immense development as it has provided over three lakh jobs since the state’s formation taking the total jobs in the sector to 6.29 lakh.

Addressing the legislative assembly, he accused the Modi government of coming up with mere slogans like ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, ‘Make in India’, ‘Stand up India’ and releasing no funds to states or industries or policy backup.

Talking about job vacancies, he termed Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s announcement of filling up 80,039 job vacancies in the government sector as ‘Koluvula Kumbhmela’ (jobs kumbh mela).

Responding to critical comments of opposition leaders, Rao said that, it is to be remembered that the Chief Minister had made the announcement on the floor of the House and not in a public meeting.  (KNN Bureau)
