In its bid to attract global investors, Uttar Pradesh is keen to use
the opportunity offered by the CII supported investors' meet here to
showcase the state's facilities and infrastructure, an official said
Saturday.
The summit which attracts industry leaders from across
the globe is scheduled to take place from Jan 27 to 29 here. It is being
organised by the commerce and industry ministry in partnership with
industry body Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
The state
needs huge investments in core sectors and the image of the Taj city had
to be properly projected, Agra Divisional Commissioner Pradip Bhatnagar
said.
The three-day global investors meet which was shifted from
Kolkata to Agra would be used to project the state's new dynamic image
under Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav who wanted speedy industrial
development.
Areas around the historical monuments including
Fatehpur Sikri, Sikandra, Mehtab Bagh are now being cleaned up and
approach roads being made encroachment free.
The Agra Cantt Railway Station where the Shatabdi Expressway will halt is being given a facelift.
