The Department of Industries is implementing various Government policies & programmes under different acts, rules, regulations, instructions and acts. There are four wings of the Department, viz., Industrial development Wing, Store Purchase Organisation, Geological Wing and Sericulture Wing. This compilation of different acts, rules, regulations, instructions and acts would be consulted as the Office Manual for guiding the working of the Department. I hope that the Department will make a constant endeavour to update this manual on regular basis. Efforts put in by the Department to bring out this manual are appreciated.
