Gorakhpur: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to inaugurate Uttar Pradesh's second flatted factory complex at the Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA) on Wednesday. Constructed at a cost of Rs 42.5 crore in Sector 13, the facility aims to bolster the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and generate employment opportunities in the region.
Plug-and-Play Industrial Complex
The plug-and-play industrial complex, spanning 2.68 acres, has been developed in alignment with the state government's initiative to strengthen small and medium enterprises. Following Kanpur, GIDA has become the second industrial area in the state to host such a facility. The four-storey industrial block comprises 80 units, each measuring 97.51 square metres, while a separate utility block contains 42 units designated for banks, warehouses, showrooms, and allied services.
Entrepreneurs will be able to commence operations immediately after allotment, as essential infrastructure has already been provided. According to GIDA CEO Anuj Malik, the project is expected to create direct employment for nearly 1,000 people and encourage sectors such as ready-made garments, information technology, and pharmaceuticals.
Inauguration of 71 Infrastructure Projects
During the event, the Chief Minister will also inaugurate and lay foundation stones for 71 infrastructure projects worth Rs 207.96 crore across various industrial sectors. These projects include roads, drains, culverts, power infrastructure, waste management systems, water treatment facilities, and sewerage networks.
Residential Complex for Industrial Workers
Additionally, the CM will inaugurate a 96-flat EWS-LIG residential complex in Sector 11 for industrial workers. Developed at a cost of Rs 18.54 crore, the project comprises 48 EWS (Economically Weaker Section) and 48 LIG (Lower Income Group) flats, all allotted to GIDA workers through an e-lottery system.
