32 MSMEs invest ₹942.68 crore in Hosur District Investors Meet 2024, with Chief Minister M.K.Stalin aiming for a 1 trillion USD economy by 2030.
The District Investors Meet 2024, convened here under the aegis of the district administration at the Industrial Innovation Hub in SIPCOT on Tuesday, witnessed 32 MSMEs (Macro, Small and Medium Enterprises) inking MoUs for cumulative investments and expansions to the tune of ₹942.68 crore in the presence of R. Sakkarapani, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies.
Speaking of the State’s industrial policy, Mr. Sakkarapani said Chief Minister M.K.Stalin had toured Japan and Singapore to propel the State towards a 1 trillion USD economy by 2030.
The minister stated that the government is committed to helping investors by removing such obstacles as land or infrastructure availability. He also mentioned a micro-level push for investments through sustained campaigns aimed at making Tamil Nadu the “first global address for investments.”
“In the last two years, the State attracted investments worth ₹2 lakh crore. The upcoming Global Investors Meet on January 7 and 9 in Chennai would augment investments further,” Mr.Sakkarapani said.
Hosur, besides its preexisting industrial ecosystem with a well-oiled MSME sector, also has a booming public infrastructure by way of roads such as the North Outer Ring Road, 4-lane road between Dharmapuri and Bengaluru; SIPCOT-III in Shoolaigiri with over 1,400 acres acquired in Nagamangalam in addition to the 2,900 acres in Phase 1 and 2 of SIPCOT, according to the Minister.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
