<h1>Union Minister Calls for Streamlined SEZ Implementation to Boost Jobs, Exports, and Rural Development.</h1> The Union Minister of Commerce and Industry emphasized the need for coordinated efforts to implement the SEZ Scheme effectively, urging state governments to provide single window clearances and other benefits. SEZs are crucial for employment generation, export growth, infrastructure development, and attracting foreign investment. Currently, SEZs employ over 230,000 people, with new SEZs contributing 45,000 jobs. An additional 100,000 jobs are expected by December 2007, with 4 million more once all approved SEZs are operational. The SEZs primarily employ rural youth, driving rapid development and boosting the manufacturing sector.
