IMPHAL: Manipur and West Bengal governor La Ganesan on Sunday said entrepreneur development is an important key to economic growth of a country as it not only provides self-employment but also job opportunities for others.
Speaking at “Inspiration Episode 18”, an entrepreneurship motivation programme held in Imphal, the governor said efforts have been made to develop entrepreneurial skills so that sufficient skilled manpower is available in the country to manage the scarce resources by developing cutting-edge enterprises.
The new generations of entrepreneurs need technical, managerial, financial and marketing skills to meet the challenge of the new world order to be able to compete. Stating that unemployment among the youth and the resulting sense of frustration is a central problem in the country especially in the northeast, Ganesan said serious efforts have been made to mitigate the unemployment problems in the region.
The initiatives will take time to show any tangible results on the ground, he said, adding that there is a need for innovation and participatory approach to attract experts in this field.
Ganesan said in spite of many visible odds and limitations, a few women entrepreneurs in Manipur have shown their hidden talents in the form of perceptible scale of production of a few competitive items.
