In spite of the global economic crisis, there has been a healthy change in the attitude at Kerala that does not have an industry friendly environment. The Kerela micro, small and medium enterprises sector is witnessing a robust growth, said Industries Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty.

The Minister launching the logo of the Kerala Machinery Expo 2016, here on Monday said that though the textile and cashew industries are surviving on government support, success stories in industries sector are too many.

The expo is being organised by the Industries Department, aims to bring technology and machinery from all over the country to upgrade facilities and improve productivity in the MSME sector. The Expo would provide technology and equipment at the doorstep of the entrepreneurs.

The expo will be held at the ADLUX Convention Centre at Angamaly in Ernakulam from January 27 to 30. It would feature food processing, garments, rubber and plastics, ayurveda, electronics, handicrafts and such others.
