The conference was conducted by the Assam Industries and Commerce Department.

Commissioner of Industries and Commerce, KK Dwivedi called upon the GMs to conduct workshops and campaigns in colleges, universities, research and technical institutions to encourage young minds to nurture ideas and flourish them into big dreams.

In a one-to-one interaction, Dwivedi further asked the GMs to find suitable land for development of ‘land bank’ to attract investments and facilitate all industries registered under DICC to avail subsidies and incentives.

Addressing the officials present, Ravi Capoor, Principal Secretary of Industries and Commerce Department said that small tea growers contribute 30% of the state’s tea production. General Managers are the driving force for mobilising the formation of Self Help Groups to benefit the small tea growers.
