TG Govt will also unveil the first-of-its-kind MSME Policy soon in future.
We are setting up Skill University in the state. We will make TG skill capital for the globe, the Minister said
Dr Mallu Ravi lauded the efforts of FTCCI. He assured all the help as an MP. No development is possible without industrial development, he said. Many governments are competing with each other on industrial growth, he said.
The awards promote the spirit of entrepreneurship. These were initiated in 1974 and are continued year after year uninterruptedly. Awards have more creditability when instituted by distinguished organisations like FTCCI. The award will boost morale, improve quality, and production, and earn good recognition for the company, added Meela Jayadev in his welcome address.
He highlighted a few pain points such as Trade Licence fees based on area and electricity bill issues and sought a couple of acres of land for constructing the state-of-the-art FTCCI building. The current building is insufficient in line with its fast progress and wanted the government to consider granting a couple of acres of land.
The jury is headed by Mr. Karunendra S. Jasti, Chairman and Ramakanth Inani as Co-Chairman. Sri Karunendra S Jasti, Chair, of the FTCCI Excellence Awards Committee gave his introductory remarks and said the awards acknowledge outstanding achievements promoting corporate and individual initiatives in economic and social domains.
The awards are judged by a jury composed of Justice Sri Challa Kodanda Ram, M Gopal Krishna, IAS & Ajay Mishra, IAS; Uday B Desai, Founding Director IIT Hyd and Ms Vanitha Datla, MD of Elico.
