The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) would give thrust to infrastructure development, manufacturing, skills training and promotion of tier II and III cities this year.
Outlining CII’s key priorities for 2012-13, Mr G.V. Sanjay Reddy, Chairman, CII Southern Region, said in Bangalore on Friday that the industry body would focus on the theme, ‘South India 2020 – Accelerate Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development’.
According to him, South India contributes to over 22 per cent of the country’s GDP and 28 per cent of its employment. The region’s advantages in economic and social development indices give it the potential to sustain accelerated growth over the next decade, and create global scale in select sectors.
Stress will also be on enhancing the role of the manufacturing sector in the country’s economy. CII also would propose an integrated logistic hub connecting major ports in Southern states, said Mr Reddy.
