JAIPUR, DEC. 29. Rajasthan has sought national status for the Centre for Development of Stones (CDOS) located in the Sitapura industrial area here. The State has asked the Union Ministry of Mines for financial support to make it a useful facility for the dimensional stone industry in the country. A visiting group of officials from Delhi, who included R.K. Bhargava, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Mines, M. Sahu, Director, UNIDO-ICAMT, and K.P. Lall, Advisor, Ministry of Mines, were given a detailed presentation on the utility of the upcoming CDOS complex for the stone sector by the Rajasthan officials. The Chairman and Managing Director of RIICO, Rakesh Hooja, Sameer Singh, Special Secretary, Industries, Naveen Mahajan, Executive Director, RIICO, and N.K.
