An open letter to the CM Dear Editor, Through the column of your daily, I would like to urge the chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh to have clear cut policies for the interest of local entre-preneurs of Arunachal Pradesh. In the papers we have seen that there exists a state industrial policy. Every day in news paper the good deed for self employed are published but they never ask those existing local entrepreneurs what they have benefited from state govt. Many buildings are being constructed but still our local entrepreneurs who are running steel fabrication units have not got any works, crores of money is being spent for printing works at govt. department but still today our local printing press never got govt. order, crores of funds is used for purchasing curtains in state but still our mothers and sister who are engaged in weaving sectors never got any order from govt. department for supply of cloths. Crores are being spent for procurement of furniture but local furniture unit never get order for supply of furniture at govt. Offices. There are many sectors where local people are engaged yet they do not have any advantage. The reasons for deprivation of local entrepreneurs are many but one main reason is that some of Ministers, MLAs and officers have floated their own firms in the name of kit and kin and they engage middleman from other metropolitan cities to make money. But in public platform our Ministers, MLAs and officers suggest youths to come forward to avail self employment opportunities, whereas when the funds is sanctioned, they change their stand completely. I would like to tell the chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh that if he want to see the upward swing of employment generation than he should adopt clear cut policies to safeguard local entrepreneurs and stop the direct entry of outsiders and instruct officers to give priority to local entrepreneurs. Yours, Nabam Akin Hina Chairman, ECDS
