Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu
Hon'ble Vice President
Republic of India
It is heartening to note that the Government of Uttar Pradesh is formulating and implementing policies on priority, which are designed to create congenial environment for accelerated industrial development and capital investment. By recently announced U.P. Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Policy, 2017 the government has infused a renewed confidence in entrepreneurs, exporters and artisans of the State.
Traditional crafts, craftsmen, weavers and artisans play an important role in imparting pace to the economic development of the State. Driven by innovative idea and commitment to balanced industrial development, the Government of Uttar Pradesh has decided to implement ‘One District – One Product’ Programme. This programme will pave a new way for inclusive development of the State. I am convinced that this programme can take the State to new heights of economic development by linking the production with tourism, the development of local craft skills and employment opportunities.
I convey my good wishes and full cooperation to Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath for adopting this dynamic concept of ‘One District – One Product’ and its successful implementation.
