"The park will serve as a catalyst for Uttar Pradesh's economic growth, fostering job creation, expanding trade opportunities, and positioning the state as a prominent textile manufacturing and production hub. Once operational, it is projected to provide employment opportunities to one lakh young individuals," the minister affirmed.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by small enterprises in terms of packaging, Sachan reiterated the government's commitment to promoting and supporting MSMEs while addressing their concerns. He also emphasized the government's focus on the development of multi malls.
