Fruit-based industry in Ramanattukara in the pipeline
The State will formulate a private industries policy in six months as part of its efforts to encourage small-scale businesses. Industries Minister P. Rajeeve told reporters here on Tuesday that a private industrial park will be set up in every Assembly constituency and that single-window clearance will be given to small-scale enterprises. “Developing a Kerala brand is also part of the initiative,” the Minister said. The Minister also announced the plan to start a fruit-based industry in Ramanattukara. He added that Kozhikode district was about to make a big leap in the industries sector. Earlier in the day, addressing Meet the Minister, an adalat organised by the District Industries Centre to identify problems faced by industrialists in the district, he said that a three-member committee had been appointed to reform the age-old laws governing the industries sector in the State and urged entrepreneurs to come up with suggestions before the committee. He said that Kozhikode would be the centre of industries development in North Kerala and extended complete support of the State government for industrialists.
