Pune, Nov 13 Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will be on a two-day visit to Pune starting November 15, during which he will inaugurate the revival initiative of National Heavy Engineering Cooperative (NHEC) and unveil a statue of late Ajit Pawar.
The foundation stone for the revival project will be laid on November 15, marking an important step towards restarting the institution after several years of inactivity. The NHEC is a cooperative institution established in Talegaon in 1974.
The revival initiative has been undertaken following special efforts by Shah and the Centre, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of strengthening the cooperative sector under the ‘Sahkar Se Samriddhi’ initiative, said Union Minister of State for Cooperation Murlidhar Mohol.
“NHEC is expected to manufacture modern machinery required by sugar and dairy industries. Its revival is likely to generate employment opportunities in Maval and Pune district, provide a boost to local industries and create opportunities for machinery exports,” he said in a social media post.
Shah is also scheduled to unveil a statue of NCP stalwart Ajit Pawar at the Zilla Parishad complex on November 16. The then deputy chief minister died in a plane crash on January 28 this year.
