Saxena assures hundred percent employments through small industries

AGARTALA:

Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) Chairman Vinai Kumar Saxena today said that Tripura had all the potentials to become an independent state through small industries.

Addressing the Press at State Guest House today, Saxena said, the state and the central government are working jointly to revive the small level industries of Tripura. The purpose of my visit, Saxena said, is to link the state with new schemes and policies of KVIC.

Stressing on the incense-sticks industry, he said, Tripura is well appreciated for quality incense-sticks everywhere. And, the central government’s new policy restricting imports of this product has opened doors for Tripura to leave its marks in the national level.

Every day, he said, 1400 tons of incense sticks are consumed all over the country with an annual increase of 10 to 12 percent. As soon as the new policies are announced, the state and the KVIC have initiated attempts to revive industrial units of state. And, if everything falls in the right direction, soon this industry will generate as much as 5 Lakh job opportunities in the state, Saxena claimed.

Speaking on other aspects, he said, the Khadi Commission is also planning to impart trainings to tribal population of the state on commercial use of Rubber, Litchi and Mustard so that they can be added to the mainstream life. He also informed the media persons that the commission would also train leather artisans with smart kits to improve their way of work.

However, Saxena also met Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb yesterday and discussed on the further action plan of the commission.
