The government will bring about a new `National Manufacturing Policy', integrating environmental issues into growth objectives and thereby decoupling economic growth and environmental degradation.

The function was also attended by Shigeo Takenaka, secretary-general of the Asian Productivity Organisation; Takashi Yamagishi, chairman of APO preparatory committee EPIF-2011, N C Vasudevan, director-general of National Productivity Council (NPC) apart from senior officials from the commerce and industry ministry.
