There are 500 such factories which make rods, we have our own association which extracts meta-analysis, just a few years back we have NABL, we can issue that certificate, our certificate is valid in any country in the world."Keshu said that exporters do not have to go to Rajkot-Ahmedabad, as they can get the certificate of metal here which is valid all over the world. Almost 30 per cent of the women get employment in the brass industry.Asia's largest brass-making centres in Moradabad and Aligarh are totally different because there is more hand work involved.The production which is at least 800 tonnes of goods containers is exported in a month and the scrap piece of the domestic market is preferred because there is no other source of brass here.There is a lot of support from the government for the brass industry, which is a startup idea, the youth will get a lot of benefits from it and the new generation is fully supported by the government. The government is fully supporting the MSMEs and also provides the benefit of many subsidies.He further said, "Whatever problems we face, the Gujarat government also gives us solutions immediately. We are hundred per cent satisfied with the government in Gujarat."Brass businessman Narendra Bhai said that the brass business is very good, it is the identity of Jamnagar, women are also involved in this system because there are different types of work that women can do easily.Gujarat will go to Assembly polls on December 1 and 5, while the counting of votes will take place on December 8.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
