During the inauguration ceremony, department head Jyotirmoy Daimary delivered the welcome speech.
Executive member, Sajal Kumar Singha emphasised that the trade fair is being organised in Tulsibil as a part of an effort to bring the Department of Industries closer to the public.
He stressed that the fair would help people learn about the locally produced goods and encourage local enterprises.
Sajal Kumar Singh, in his speech, highlighted that in the past, people were largely unaware of the works and benefits provided by the Department of Industries and Commerce. As a result, they could not avail themselves of the department’s facilities.
“However, times have changed;” he said, “Today, business and commerce have expanded globally and are easily accessible. The government of Assam has also taken initiatives like Advantage Assam 2.0, aiming to set up industries in various parts of the state, including the BTR (Bodoland Territorial Region), which will contribute to economic growth and create employment opportunities”.
Additionally, BTC’s executive member of Education, Skill Development, and E-Office Department, Wilson Hasda, addressed the gathering about the importance of business expansion and industrial development in creating employment opportunities.
The additional director and departmental head of the BTC Industries and Commerce Centre, Jyotirmoy Daimary, welcomed everyone to the event.
UPPL’s Gossaigaon district committee president, Anindra Basumatary, and the BJP district spokesperson, Rikesh Agarwala, urged the people to focus on establishing their businesses and industries rather than relying solely on government jobs.
They emphasised that this approach could open avenues for employment for others as well.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by several prominent citizens, farmers, and entrepreneurs.
Following the ceremony, the executive members of BTC and guests visited the stalls and commercial establishments participating in the trade fair.
