Gudur in SPSR Nellore district, the Minister said the State was the first in the country to reserve 75% jobs for local people in industrial units, factories, joint ventures and projects set up under public-private partnership mode.
The factory, with 5,000 tonne shrimp processing capacity, would go a long way in providing employment to local people, he said, adding that industrial units had a responsibility to provide necessary training to the youth and absorb them in their units.
