Boost to employment primary focus at Madhya Pradesh investors' summit

Asked about the economic slowdown, the CM said there was no slowdown in his state

Any industrialist who has land in Madhya Pradesh (MP) does not need any government approval for starting a unit, said Kamal Nath during his first investment summit as MP chief minister on Friday.

Addressing the media after the Magnificent MP Summit, Nath said: "For industrialists, self-certification is sufficient. The government will inspect them only after three years of commencement. The basic idea is to provide industries a hassle-free environment to work and grow in MP."

He also said that state government is enacting a law so that industries operating in Madhya Pradesh will mandatorily have to employ 70 per cent native employees.
