Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka said on Sunday the state government fully supports industrial growth and is ready to offer land, subsidies and incentives.
He made the remarks as chief guest at the inauguration of NS Industries in the Maheshwaram constituency of Ranga Reddy district. The unit is linked to noted poet and singer-songwriter Jayaraju.
Vikramarka said eligible entrepreneurs can get land allotments, concessions and other government incentives. Along with industrial progress, the government is giving priority to social justice, equal opportunity and inclusive economic growth, he said.
The Deputy Chief Minister urged young people to set up industries. Such ventures would make them self-employed and also create jobs for others, he said.
He praised young entrepreneurs Nishanth and Sajan, who founded NS Industries. Both pursued higher education and then started their own unit instead of waiting for jobs. Their goal of creating employment for others will inspire many young people, he said.
According to Vikramarka, the state government helped allot space for the unit in an industrial area. He hoped Nishanth and Sajan would become role models for youth planning new industries. Their success should inspire many others in society, not just benefit them, he added.
Bhatti Vikramarka hails Jayaraju’s songs on Singareni workers
Vikramarka also paid special tribute to Jayaraju’s service to society. He said Jayaraju used his art for the public good even while working in a government job.
The poet’s songs reflected the problems of Singareni workers, the rights of labourers and the lives of marginalised communities, the Deputy CM said. These songs raised public awareness and inspired people’s movements, he added. He said the government sees it as its duty to recognise and honour artists, intellectuals and those working for social awareness.
Rulers should treat power as a means to serve people, not as a status symbol, Vikramarka said. He added that the people’s government led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy works for social justice, equality and the progress of all sections.
The Deputy CM also called for protecting the environment while developing industry. He appreciated the founders’ plan to build the unit without removing existing trees. He also expressed the hope that the company would pursue eco-friendly industrial growth.
MLC Narender Rao, former MLA K Lakshma Reddy, senior journalist Pasham Yadagiri and DICCI president Narra Ravikumar attended the event. Stalin and SPDCL director Shivaji were also present.
