Apropos to the news item appeared in the Morung Express, Public Grievances Cell, Dated, 13th March, 2012, the All Nagaland Selected Entrepreneurs Association (ANSEA) would like to clarify the following point in regard to the Charter of Demand submitted to the Government of Nagaland earlier in January, 2012.
The Department of Industries & Commerce, which is the nodal department for implementation of the YOE, has invited the ANSEA and had a thorough deliberation of the CoD during the meeting. The department while expressing their inabilities to accommodate all the 1000 selected entrepreneurs in one go, has informed that implementation of the YOE will be made on phase-wise, for which, the department assures that the first phase will be implemented before the end of the current financial year (2011-12). In regard to the phase-wise implementation, the department proposed that the first phase will have a selection of 300 under PMEGP, 50 under NIDC, 50 under NABARD and 30 under NHHDC, which will be made strictly from the batch-wise training list and will be based upon the DPR which can be accommodate under PMEGP, NIDC, NABARD & NHHDC. Considering the practicability of the situation, the association in consultation with the district units agreed to go ahead with the proposal of the department. Based on the outcome of the meeting, the ANSEA has decided to hold-back the CoD for the time being and allow the department to implement the YOE as proposed, for which information was given to all the district units to adhere by its decision till further notice from the association. The association also clarifies that it is very much vigilant as far as the department’s proposal and implementation of the YOE is concern and has at no point of time retreated back from its commitment to work for the welfare of the selected entrepreneurs until all the selected entrepreneurs are assisted by the Government of Nagaland under the YOE.
The association, therefore, urge all its members concern to get their doubts clarified from the association’s official both the state and the district units before going public with their doubts and grievances. The association further urges the department of Industries and commerce, GoN, to expedite the implementation of YOE, as the lethargic process of implementation is annoying the already-frustrated entrepreneurs.
