Based on the MoU and investment proposals received, if the team of officers takes it to the ground, more than 72,000 new jobs will be created in the dairy sector. At the same time, the livestock sector will provide over 32,000 job opportunities. More than 1 lakh jobs will be created in both sectors as a result of this.
CM Yogi has given clear instructions to the officers to cooperate with the investors in every way and provide all kinds of facilities related to establishing their enterprises through the single window system.
“Along with this, ensure that investor applications are processed on time so that entrepreneurs do not have to face any trouble,” said CM Yogi.
