SHG women, youth should set up industrial units: Bhatti
Deccan ChronicleKhammam: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka directed the officials to encourage the women of Self-Help Groups to set up units in industrial parks and said the government would provide them with project reports of industries, explain marketing facilities and get bank loans during this effort. Speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony for an MSME industrial park at Yendapalle of Madhira mandal on Monday, Bhatti said the SHG women have been availing `20,000 crore interest-free loans annually and there is a need to create awareness among them about the business opportunities and guide them to set up manufacturing plants. Bhatti said he was confident that the industrial park would be successful as it was close to the capital of Andhra Pradesh, Vijayawada-Nagpur highway and Devarapalli greenfield highway. Bhatti opined that over-dependency on agriculture would create problems during unfavourable weather conditions and there was a need to achieve comprehensive development by prioritising industrial and service sectors.
