Industries to be set up by these companies are likely to provide employment to thousands of people.
A Singapore company has been given the responsibility to give shape to the Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority. After the entire land is allotted in bigha terms, the Singapore company will prepare a master plan in which it will be decided where and in what area housing, industry, parking, sewage system, powerhouse, police post, garden etc. are to be built.
