DIBRUGARH: The Laghu Udyog Bharati (LUB), Dibrugarh Ekai (branch) was officially formed on Sunday in Dibrugarh. The Dibrugarh branch of LUB was formed in presence of Assam State Industry Minister Bimal Borah and Om Prakash Mittal, Akhil Bhartiya Ex-president and East Prabhari, LUB.

LUB is a registered national-level organisation for micro and small industries. Speaking on the occasion, Bimal Borah said, "We have to promote the small scale industries under LUB. Today, the Dibrugarh branch of LUB was officially formed. I thank the office bearers of the new LUB and appeal them to work for the industrial development of the region by involving the youths of Assam."

He said, "We should think differently and encourage the young enterpreneur to come forward to set up MSME industries in upper Assam region. There is lots of scope for down stream industries in upper Assam because we have BCPL, and very easily we can get raw materials from BCPL. Apart from strengthening the MSME sector, the LUB should encourage the young enterpreneurs to set up downstream industries."

"The bought leaf factory owners should tie up with the small tea workers for the scio-economic development of Assam. The small tea growers should be encouraged to produce good tea leaves which would be both beneficial for the bought leaf factory owners and small tea growers," the minister added.

Om Prakash Mittal spoke about the importance of LUB and how the MSME sectors have been benefitting from it. "We are one of India's largest MSME Industry networks in India, with over 550 chapters and over 700 branches. We have members in every district of India working towards the welfare of MSEs in India. We have grass-root level insight into the challenges faced by the MSMEs as well as changing industry trends and practices on the ground," Mittal said.

He said, "Earlier villages were self sufficient and products from the villages were exported to other countries. We have to bring our lost glory by becoming self sufficient. The LUB will work for the uplift of small scale industries." "We should not only chase after profit, if we do proper business profit will definitely come but apart from profit making, we should work for the development of our nation and help our nation to become self sufficient," Mittal asserted.

Sushil Goenka was selected as the president of Dibrugarh branch LUB and Santosh Kejeriwal was selected as the secretary of LUB. A new member comitted was formed for the Dibrugarh branch LUB to look after the issues faced by the MSME.
