Bhavana, industrialists, entrepreneurs and investors, he called ‘Invest Kadapa’ a giant leap in introducing the district’s potential, opportunities and resources to the outside world. It would also act as the window for all activities such as allotment of land and resources, approvals and coordination among departments.“An entrepreneur walking into the centre with his idea can walk out with all the necessary approvals and support,” he said.The centre would look beyond industry to invite investment in tourism, minerals, real estate, wind and solar power. “We want to lay special focus on investments flowing into Kadapa from other States,” the Collector added.
