Collector M. Abhishekt Kishore has directed officials to work with enhanced coordination to attract investments and expedite the grounding of industrial projects in the district.
Chairing a review meeting at the Collectorate on Wednesday, Mr. Kishore assessed the progress of various Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), land acquisition processes, and infrastructure development. He emphasised the need for a robust “land bank” and instructed officials to identify suitable government lands and explore private land aggregation where necessary to facilitate industrial growth.
The Collector stressed that officials must maintain constant communication with investors to ensure a conducive business environment. He called for the effective implementation of the single window clearance system to resolve bottlenecks immediately and prevent delays in project execution.
“Action plans must be formulated to capitalise on investment opportunities in the IT, tourism, and infrastructure sectors. Special attention should be given to projects that have already received clearances from the State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII),” the Collector said.
During the meeting, the Collector instructed departments to compile comprehensive data on upcoming tourism projects and IT firms to determine specific land and infrastructure requirements. He noted that the development of identified land parcels should be prioritised to meet the needs of these high-growth sectors.
The review meeting was attended by VMRDA Commissioner Tej Bharat, Joint Collector Gobbilla Vidyadhari among others.
