Maruti violence will not affect industrial environment: CII

Jaipur: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on Thursday said the violence at a Maruti plant at Manesar, which claimed the life of a senior company official, would not have any impact on the industrial growth in the long run.

"The incident is extremely unfortunate but this is not the case which is only happening in India. This happens all over.

"In the long run, this will not have major impact on industrial environment and growth", CII Deputy Chairman (Northern Region) Jayant Davar told reporters here on Thursday.

Violence at a Maruti plant at Manesar claimed the life of a senior company official.

In reply to a question on skill development, he said the government of India under PPP mode has set up National Skill Development Council which would be a game changer in coming years.

"The NSDC is headed by a former CII official and would play a key role in enhancing employability skills of youths of the country by 2020.

"India is a country with a large young population and the council will really have an important place for economic growth by improving skills of manpower", he said.
