The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday (July 15) finalised plans to roll out 16 Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Employment and Industrial Zones (SVPEIZ) in the first phase of a wide-ranging initiative to integrate skill development, employment generation, industry and entrepreneurship on a single platform. The project will be implemented through a nine-region hub-and-spoke model designed to knit together the state’s industrial strengths, available resources and investment potential into a coordinated network that can deliver plug-and-play infrastructure alongside training and employment support.
