Telangana Chief Minister, K Chandrasekhar Rao discussed the draft policy prepared by the industries department which is headed by Industries Minister, KT Rama Rao.
With the focus on job creation, another similar policy has been approved by the Cabinet.

Very soon, ministers and officials will meet and prepare the policy," as stated The News Minute.
