On the occasion CNI Chairman Bishnu Kumar Agrawal urged Minister Rijal to boost the industrialists' morale. The industrialists' morale was down with lack of investment worthy capital, high interest rate, and contraction on demand, he said, expressing worry that contribution of productive industry was declining to GDP.
The CNI further stressed that only industrialization could help achieve sustainable development and create adequate employment. The industries that help to reduce imports must be prioritized, it argued.
