Endowments Minister Velampalli Srinivasa Rao on Monday said that the Jagan Mohan Reddy government wanted to encourage industrialists to set up units in the State with a promise to provide them full support for a transparent and corruption-free business here. He was addressing the inaugural session of the 10th edition of Apparels Manufacturers and Makers’ Association (AMMA) Garments Fair 2019 in city.
