A separate website will be created soon to provide employment opportunities to students. Through this, the aim is to provide jobs to the young generation who have completed their education according to their skills, Umareddy said.
Industries in several parts of the state, including Bangalore, need to be provided with the necessary infrastructure by the government. Most importantly, the road conditions need to be improved. President Umareddy said that the Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry will make an effort to draw the government's attention in this regard. She opined that the government needs to realize that the businessmen of the state naturally also desire world-class facilities.
Umareddy also assured that the Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry will focus on starting new businesses in Kodagu and solving the problems of existing businesses.
He said that a scheme to recognize the achievements of women entrepreneurs from the state, including Kodagu, and give them the Sadhakhi Award is underway and October 31 is the last day to apply for the award.
The Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry will take its brand of the world's startup capital, Bengaluru, to the global level. The aim is to establish international business alliances and portray Karnataka as a major investment and tourism hub, and Umareddy expressed his hope that Karnataka entrepreneurs will be visible on the global business map.
Kannada Pride - Global Pride!
The Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry has the motto of Kannada Pride - Global Pride. No matter where in the world a Kannadiga lives, he has a Kannada mind in his heart. In this regard, our organization requests non-resident entrepreneurs, Kannadigas living abroad, to contact and invest in our Kannada land. This process has a Kannada feeling that goes beyond money transactions and income.
New ideas will bring innovation and international recognition back to the soil of Karnataka. Through this, the industry will have a connection with Kannadigas entrepreneurs abroad, said Umareddy. The organization's senior vice president T. Sairam Prasad, Kodagu district director Girish Ganapathy were present.
