A fact-finding mission to Madhya Pradesh was undertaken by the team of FIC-ISID to support growth, inclusiveness and sustainability of industrial development in the state for income and livelihood creation. As part of the mission, a stakeholders’ consultation meeting was organized for key actors from the state government and the industry. The objective of the meeting was to enable participants to share their experiences and expectations for industrial development in the state, deliberate on the challenges and opportunities specific to prioritized industries and districts, and discuss effective institutional frameworks that would enable effective implementation of a potential UNIDO project in the state. The FIC-ISID team also undertook site visits to gain a deeper understanding of current status and potential for industrial growth in the state.
