At the outset, I would like to thank 

you all for reposing faith in me as the 

head, CII Uttar Pradesh for the year 

2009-10. During this year CII Uttar 

Pradesh carried forward the theme 

‘Growth in Challenging Times’, which 

was reflected in all the activities 

undertaken. 

The year has been a challenging one 

for the Indian Industry with the 

downturn. Several sectors such as 

real estate, petroleum imports, 

cement, steel, auto and exports were 

badly affected. Small businesses 

also bore the brunt. 

But the silver lining was the domestic 

market, particularly the rural market 

which remained relatively strong. 

Fortunately, the crisis has now 

receded and Indian services & 

manufacturing sector is penetrating 

the global markets once again. 

In retrospect, all our endeavors were 

in consonance with the state's 

objective towards salvaging growth 

in the global recessionary period and 

facilitating economic growth as an 

active partner with the state 

government harnessing the state’s 

immense potential. 

The year saw a number of interactive 

sessions with key government 

officials. CII continued to be 

represented on major working 

groups and advisory boards of the 

state government like the Tripartite 

Labor Committee, Council of 

Science and Technology (IPR 

Division), Environment Policy

Committee, National Climate Change Response 

Knowledge Mission and State Steering 

Committee of Technical & Professional 

Education. 

Sugar Tech 09 was timely & much relevant for 

the beleaguered sugar industry. All stakeholders 

including the sugar industry, farmers, experts 

and the state government together were present 

at a common platform to discuss and work out a 

good package for the farmers in light of the 

shorter seasons in the sugar industry. I am 

particularly pleased to share that this led to many 

strategic decisions and several initiatives to ride 

the sugar industry out of trouble times. 

CII Uttar Pradesh worked to preserve the 

traditional heritage and art of the state. To save 

the Intellectual Property Protection of identified 

Geographical Indications of UP, CII signed an 

MOU with the Export Promotion Bureau, 

Government of Uttar Pradesh for facilitating the 

GI registration of six products in Uttar Pradesh 

including Locks of Aligarh, Sports Goods of 

Meerut, Patchworks of Rampur, Kababs of 

Lucknow and Petha, Dalmot & Marble Work of 

Agra. 

Tree plantation drives, water management and 

HIV / AIDS awareness were high on agenda this 

year. 

Our future activities need to keep up the 

momentum on key areas like enhancing 

employment, tourism, infrastructure, agriculture, 

food processing and creating conducive 

environment for the growth of industry in the 

state. 

I am sure that the CII Uttar Pradesh State Council 

2010-11 would carry forward the initiatives taken 

this year and contribute positively to the inclusive 

development of Uttar Pradesh. 

Mr Ramesh Suri 

Chairman 

CII UP State Council 

The State Council facilitated the working of 11 

ITIs, adopted in the recent past at various 

locations. The Council also facilitated Modular 

Employable Skills Scheme (MES) under the 

national Skills Development Initiative (SDI) to 

help school drop-outs and shop-floor workers. 

Over 1500 Vocational Training Providers (VTPs) 

have been established providing training in a 

variety of skills across the state. 

6th Northern Regional Council was organised in

to host the colourful evening Shaam -E- Awadh

Sugar Tech 2009: "Shorter Seasons 

in Sugar Industry - Opportunities & 

Challenges" 

September 30, 2009: Lucknow 

With the objective to review the substantial fall in 

the production of sugar in the state, assess 

challenges & opportunities and arrive at 

meaningful solutions to benefit the farmers, 

industry and the government, CII Uttar Pradesh 

organized a one day conference on “Shorter 

Seasons in Sugar Industry – Opportunities & 

Challenges - Sugar Tech 2009”. 

Welcoming the participants, Mr Ramesh Suri, 

Chairman, CII Uttar Pradesh asserted the aim said 

"we are here to ensure that the Indian Sugar 

Industry finds its place in the sun again". Further 

he brought to the notice, the issues faced by the 

farmers relating to their sizeable chunk of money 

not being cleared by the sugar factories and delay 

in announcing the levy price by the government, 

which ultimately leave farmers distressed. 

Geographical Indication (GI) is one form of 

Intellectual Property Protection which can protect 

these intangible assets for identity and reputation 

in the National and International Market. In due 

course, with proper enforcement mechanism 

these GIs can provide business opportunities and 

Wealth Creation to the end users that are artisans, 

weavers and craftsman. The GI can also be 

commercially leveraged for enhancing incomes of 

such artisans while providing assurance of 

product quality to consumers. 

With this perspective, Export Promotion Bureau, 

Government of Uttar Pradesh invited CII Uttar 

Pradesh State Office to sign a Memorandum of 

Understanding, for facilitating the GI registration of 

six products in Uttar Pradesh. These products 

include Locks of Aligarh, Sports goods of Meerut, 

Patchworks of Rampur, Kababs of Lucknow and 

Petha, Dalmot & Marble Work of Agra. 

CII Uttar Pradesh State Office has initiated this 

project in association with Andhra Pradesh 

Technology Development and Promotion Center 

(APTDC). 

6th Northern Regional Council 

Meeting 

February 5, 2010: Lucknow 

Mr Atul Kumar Gupta, Chief Secretary and Chief 

Guest for the session felt that in the current 

situation, it is pertinent to look at long term 

measures and addressed the needs of the most 

important state holder: the farmer. He suggested 

for a loyalty bonus system or fixed cane price for 

two years, which can be introduced for 

maintaining a long term relationship between 

industry and farmer. 

The technical sessions of Sugar Tech 09 included 

a session on agriculture to address issues in 

Sugarcane Development and Marketing. The 

other sessions were on CEO's perspective on 

industry issues and on engineering & technology 

to share best practices in sugar & allied industries. 

The conference saw participation of over 150 

delegates from sugar and allied sectors from 

different parts of Uttar Pradesh and the NCR 

region. 

Intellectual property protection of
