Newly set-up Electronics Trade & Technology Development Corporation at the Centre will provide assistance with regard to the supply of imported raw materials at the right price and right time as well as in exports. Electronics Testing & Development Centres, already set up in some states including UP with the assistance of Central Government fulfil the most important and urgent need of prospective and existing entrepreneurs with regard to testing, development and quality control. Action by the concerned agencies is also in hand to ensure availability of trained personnel for this industry at all levels.
