The Baroda Management Association (BMA) has decided to meet the Vadodara mayor and municipal commissioner to extend them full support of the CEO forum for development projects.

The CEO forum has been formed in association with government agencies to see that the city gets back

its earlier image of industrial city.

The first meeting of the CEO forum took place on June 20, which was attended by the officials of some of the big companies and banks in Vadodara including Bank of Baroda, SBI, L&T, Reliance, Heubach, Bombardier and others. Improvement in

infrastructure including roads in Vadodara is on the top of the agenda.

The forum representatives will meet the city mayor and the municipal commissioner to extend their support for development projects in the city. The idea to refurbish the status of the city was mooted by several industrialists and officials from BMA and the initiative is expected to result in smooth coordination with the government machinery at different levels.

Devanshu Vaishnav, BMA president, said, “The initiative will help the industrialists to work jointly with the government on a number of projects.”

He added, “BMA will also work on building the knowledge bank of the city by interacting with people in industries and providing them a platform to make the efforts successful.”

“Earlier, Vadodara was known as industrial hub of the state. That image has taken a beating and the CEO forum will work jointly with the government and the civic bodies to see that the city regains its lost status,” said Vaishnav.
