Technology Centre to be set up in Chhattisgarh
The Government of India is planning to set up a Technology Centre in Chhattisgarh in order to technologically upgrade the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the state.
The Union Ministry of MSME would soon commence the work for setting up a ‘Technology Centre’ in the state.
During an interview President of Urla Industries Association (UIA), Vinod Kumar Kejriwal said that if up-gradation of industries takes place in the state then value addition would start, as a result of this state would flourish.
“Even labourers in the state are not technologically upgraded,” he said.
The selection of places for new Technology Centres by the Central Government preference has been given to the states in which there are no MSME Technology Centres at present.
“Although Central Government is focusing on the growth of Chhattisgarh MSMEs but not much development has taken place here. A tool room was to be set up here for which the land was allotted but the work is yet to commence,” he revealed.
The Ministry of MSME is currently running 18 Technology Centres (10 Tool Rooms and 8 Technology Development Centres) to provide technological support to the MSME sector.
