Exhibition and Convention Centres To Be Set-up In Lucknow and Varanasi
New Delhi, Jul 3 (KNN) The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has given its nod to a crucial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) and MSMEs on Tuesday.
Finance Minister Suresh Khanna unveiled plans to establish world-class convention centres in Lucknow and Varanasi, drawing inspiration from Delhi's Bharat Mandapam.
"These multipurpose halls will serve as a vital platform for MSMEs to showcase their products, driving industrial investment and providing a much-needed impetus to the sector," Khanna explained.
The initiative is expected to significantly enhance MSME production in Uttar Pradesh. By replicating the success of the Bharat Mandapam, known for its state-of-the-art infrastructure and regular hosting of national and international trade fairs, the state aims to put its MSMEs on the global map.
"This decision will create a conducive environment for industrial investment, particularly benefiting our MSME entrepreneurs," Khanna emphasised. The new facilities will enable Uttar Pradesh to host large-scale exhibitions and trade fairs, offering unprecedented exposure to local businesses.
The move is seen as a game-changer for the MSME sector in Uttar Pradesh, which forms the backbone of the state's economy. By providing a world-class platform for product showcasing and networking, the government aims to boost production, encourage innovation, and attract both domestic and foreign investments into the sector.
Industry experts predict that this initiative will not only enhance the visibility of Uttar Pradesh's MSMEs but also facilitate easier access to markets, technologies, and potential collaborators.
The ripple effect is expected to create more jobs, increase exports, and contribute significantly to the state's economic growth.
As Uttar Pradesh gears up for this transformative journey, the MSME sector stands at the cusp of a new era of growth and opportunity. The coming months will be crucial as the state works to implement this visionary plan, potentially setting a new benchmark for MSME development in India.
