Industries and Commerce Minister T.G. Bharath said the NDA government will provide 20 lakh jobs to the youth as promised by setting up industries. Mr. Bharath, along with Panyam MLA Gouru Charitha Reddy, district Collector P. Ranjith Basha and others, inaugurated the MSME park set up at Guttapadu village in Orvakal mandal with a cost of ₹38.47 crore. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has planned to set up industrial parks in all the 175 Assembly constituencies of the State. 'No other person or leader envisaged setting up industrial parks on a largescale. We will implement and are going ahead to realise his vision,' Mr Bharath said. 'When Mr. Naidu, as the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh came up with Vision 2020, he faced lot of criticism and adverse comments. However, the same vision was instrumental in the development of Hyderabad. Development can be achieved only when one has a vision,' the Minister said. Mr. Bharath said that they were offering training to the local youth so that they could get jobs. 'We are setting up a pilot training centre at Orvakal. Though the training involves huge cost, one can earn good salary at a lesser time and we urge the youth to take up the pilot training,' he said. The Minister further said that both the Centre and State governments were working towards developing basic infrastructure at the Orvakal industrial area. We have also requested the Railways to lay railway siding from Dupadu to Betamcherla railway stations passing through Orvakal node under the Hyderabad-Bengaluru industrial corridor, he said. Mr. Bharath said that the State has attracted ₹9 lakh crore investments in just nine months and the setting up of these industries will provide more than five lakh jobs. Meanwhile, Mr. Ranjith Basha said that they have identified land in all the seven Assembly constituencies for setting up a MSME park and the one at Orvakal was the first one to be inaugurated in the district. The mandal will develop with the setting up of the park, he said. Panyam MLA Charitha Reddy said that the State government is giving equal importance to welfare as well as development.
