Centre Plans 20 New Industrial Townships Across India

New Delhi: Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday that the government is setting up 20 new industrial townships across the country, one of which has already started in Noida.

“A lot is happening, and with the active participation of industry, we can achieve much more and much faster. As a country, we need a change in mindset to recognise high quality and sustainability as our calling card as we engage with the world,” Goyal said at the Bhart@100 Summit organised by the business chamber Assocham.

He also said that the government is open to the idea of alternative financing models for MSMEs, and entrepreneurship as a course curriculum in all engineering colleges and institutes of higher education would be the way forward.
