Collector stresses coordinated push for investments in district

District Collector M. Abhishikth Kishore has directed officials to work in coordination to accelerate investments and industrial development in the district.

Chairing a review meeting at the Collectorate on Wednesday, he reviewed industrial investments, land acquisition, infrastructure development, and follow-up action on Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs).

He asked officials to update the status of existing MoUs, projects in the grounding stage, and ongoing works, and to speed up the creation of a land bank. He also suggested exploring the use of both government and private land for industrial requirements, with early identification of suitable parcels and supporting infrastructure.

The Collector stressed investor facilitation, streamlined approvals, and effective implementation of the single-window system. He also highlighted opportunities in tourism, IT, and infrastructure, calling for an action plan to attract further investments.

Officials were instructed to assess land requirements for upcoming projects in advance and ensure optimal utilisation of identified land parcels. He also directed faster execution of projects cleared by CII and the SIPB.

Officials from VMRDA, the Joint Collectorate, RDO offices, APIIC, Industries, Tourism, and other departments attended the meeting.
