'I am confident that excellent companies will participate in the fair and provide information about their products. There are a lot of entrepreneurs in this area too and their success stories should be a motivation for new entrepreneurs,' Prof. Shettar said.
'The signs of people coming into the industry for the next generation are not getting worse. The success stories of our industry should be inspiring for them. We should take the lead in sowing big dreams in them. At least one person in the family should be able to participate in the industry. Even now, it is easy to set up a business. If you provide quality products, customers will be satisfied. Then, the industry will progress,' he said.
CEO of Vibhava Industries Nandkumar H.N. said that industrial activities in the Hubballi region gained momentum after the 1990s.
'As the government changes, industrial policies change. The flow of funds increases and decreases. In the recent years, industries were established and they are moving towards development. If more entrepreneurs and industries are to be established here, promotion work should be increased,' he said.
Event chairman J.C. Mathad said that this year, 16 people were selected for the awards of the Entrepreneur Ratna Award in eight categories.
'We have selected entrepreneurs in the field of new inventions and waste management. Disabled entrepreneurs have not been noticed so far. If anyone is there, they can bring them to the attention of the association. Applications have been allowed till Tuesday,' he said.

Vision Karnataka exhibition showcases Centre's achievements in 11 years
BJP MP Jagadish Shettar inaugurated Vision Karnataka-2025, an exhibition showcasing the achievements of the 11-year-rule of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre in Belagavi on Wednesday. Mr. Shettar said that the country has made great strides in various areas to emerge as a world leader. 'Before the BJP-led NDA government came to power at the Centre, there were 34 crore extremely poor people in the country. But now, that number has come down to 7.5 crore. India, which was ranked 12th or 13th in the world economy, has now risen to be in the fourth place. In a few years, it will become the third largest economy in the world. All this shows the targeted hard work by various departments. This is among the achievements of ambitious schemes formulated by the Centre under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,' Mr. Shettar said. He said that he has appealed to the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to start defence-related industries in North Karnataka. There is a lot of land belonging to the Defence Ministry in Belagavi. 'I urge the Defence Minister to formulate a plan for setting up industries to manufacture defence-related products in such unused land,' he said. Mr. Shettar opposed the move by the State government of not allowing PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra medical shops selling unbranded medicine on the premises of government hospitals. He said that it showed the non-cooperation of the Congress government in implementing Central schemes. Representatives from over 50 Union Ministries and public sector undertakings are participating in the three-day exhibition under way at the Centenary Convention Hall in KLE Society's Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College. The event is being organised by Prayas Exhibitions and Promotions. Students from various schools and colleges, researchers and the general public enthusiastically visited the exhibition. Models displayed by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Indian Agricultural Research Institute and other organisations attracted students. Officers were seen informing them about the implementation of various schemes of the Union government, the financial options available through banks to avail of them and the entrepreneurial opportunities. The former Rajya Sabha member Prabhakar Kore said that it is a matter of pride that the exhibition is being organised in Belagavi. MLAs Abhaya Patil and Arvind Bellad, Deputy Mayor Vani Joshi, the former MP Mangala Angadi, the former MLAs Vishwanath Patil and Sanjay Patil and leaders like M.L. Muttennavar, Subhash Patil Geeta Sutara and others were present. Sunita Desai anchored the event.

Karandlaje calls on woman, SC/ST entrepreneurs to use reservation
Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Shobha Karandlaje has called on female entrepreneurs and those from SC/ST communities to avail themselves of the 3% reservation in supply of spare parts to public sector undertakings (PSUs) of the Union government. Speaking at the inauguration of the four-day IMEX-Hubballi (Industrial Manufacturing Exhibition) organised by North Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association (NKSSIA) in Hubbali on Friday, Ms. Karandlaje said that PSUs were procuring 25% of spare parts from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and the Union government had provided 3% reservation to female and SC/ST entrepreneurs. She however pointed out that the PSUs were not getting spare parts from female entrepreneurs at the expected level. 'As of now, only 1.5% of their demand was being supplied by female entrepreneurs. They should take note of it and focus on production of quality products and spare parts required for major industries,' she said. The Minister called on the entrepreneurs and industrialists from North Karnataka to register their industries in the Government e Market (GEM) portal as it would enable PSUs to place their purchase indent with respective industries. Ms. Karandlaje highlighted several of the measures taken by the Centre for supporting the MSME sector and said that 30% of the contribution to the GDP was from the sector. President of NKSSIA Girish Nalavadi emphasised the need for establishment of major industries in North Karnataka to facilitate the growth of the MSME sector in the region. He also urged the government for providing suitable land for holding industrial exhibitions. Inaugurating the industrial exhibition, Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Pralhad Joshi said that in the last 11 years the Centre had taken several measures to promote development of trade and commerce and industries. Because of these measures India had emerged as the fourth biggest economy in the world, he said. Mr. Joshi said that in the last one decade foreign direct investment to the tune of $667 billion had happened. 'Quality highways are being laid across the country and there is adequate power production. All infrastructure necessary for industrial development is being provided,' he said. In all, 272 stalls have been set up in the exhibition in which industries from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh are participating.
