Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has decided to encourage and mentor local entrepreneurship with a view to check urban migration for a more balanced growth.
“Boosting entrepreneurship at the local level along with big industry initiatives in urban centres is one of our themes for the current financial year,” said CII Northern Region deputy chairman and NIIT CEO Vijay Thadani.
He noted local entrepreneurship model would not only check urban migration, but also lead to better utilisation of local talent and workforce.
“We will be pursuing our themes of education, employability, inclusivity and entrepreneurship in all the states, including Uttar Pradesh, which cannot be ignored if India has to advance,” he added.
He said CII had already been working with policy initiatives in these sectors, but now was the time to take it to the next level with more active participation at the state government level, since education figured on the concurrent list.
