Lucknow, 29 September: Many countries of the world are now increasingly turning towards Uttar Pradesh, which has excellent business opportunities. In UP with a population of 24 crores, the state government has given a new impetus to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in just four and a half years. From these units, especially rural and urban women are getting new opportunities in business. Today women of the state are coming out of the village and joining the mainstream of employment.
Ashok Aggarwal, President, Indian Industries Association (IIA) said these things. He was addressing a program organized for women of self-help groups on Wednesday at IIA Bhawan, Gomtinagar, Lucknow.
In the program, IIA President Ashok Agrawal said that women are getting benefits directly from the Central and state government schemes. Uttar Pradesh is at the fifth position in exports, which is to be brought to number one soon. Today women are fulfilling their dreams by working hard outside the villages and towns. Central and state government schemes have become a shield for women. Today, the state government is making women self-reliant by giving them special training and tool-kits. Through the medium of MSME and One District One Product (ODOP), hidden talent in each of the districts of the state has got a platform, while business has also got a new direction.
Indigenous products destroyed China’s market
Anandi Agarwal, Head, Women’s Wing said that indigenous products have outperformed the Chinese fringes. Today, indigenous products are being dominated by the country as well as abroad. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resolve to promote indigenous products with his efforts. Today the demand for chandeliers and jhalers of UP is also in foreign countries along with other states.
On this occasion, information was given about how to connect the women of Self Help Groups with ODOP through NRLM.
