Haryana government has decided to produce quality products in small scale industries by updating them with new modern technologies. With this the industrialists will get a better price for their products. Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said that the State Government has been supporting Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) even amid COVID-19 pandemic. While focusing in this direction, the Government has granted approval for setting up state of the art Common Facility Centres (CFCs) in two rural MSME clusters wherein a large number of units will benefit from the new modern technologies.
Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala who also holds the portfolio of Industries and Commerce Department said this during 10th State Level Steering Committee meeting. He said that the clusters that will benefit from the CFCs are Furniture Cluster in District Sirsa and Handloom and Textile Cluster in District Panipat. Outlining the vision of State Government while informing about the approved projects, Dushyant Chautala said that MSMEs are an integral part of the economic landscape of the state and enabling them with suitable support is a major focus of the State Government. With the approval of the CFCs will not only result in strengthening the MSME ecosystem but also in reducing the dependencies of micro enterprises on third party service providers, he added.
He said that these CFCs projects were approved during the 10th State Level Steering Committee meeting constituted under the State Mini Cluster Development Scheme. The common facilities will be set up with 90 percent grant from State Government under the scheme, he added. Dushyant Chautala said that the State Government will provide grant to the tune of Rs 3.50 Crore to two projects having a total investment of more than Rs 4.50 Crore for setting-up of design and finishing related common facilities. He said that these CFCs will be set up within the next six months and will result in creation of several employment opportunities in the districts, while at the same time providing an opportunity to thousands of micro units to reduce their production costs and significantly improve product quality.
