Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said that the State Government has decided to take a loan of Rs 523 crore from Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) for cluster infrastructure development.
This loan will be taken for the financial year 2021-22, which will be available at a very low interest rate. This loan can be used for PADMA schemes and other cluster development schemes of the State Government.
Khattar, addressing the Standing Finance Committee meeting at his residence, said that new industries would be established with the development of cluster infrastructure in the state. “This will increase employment opportunities and youth will also get more and more jobs. Under this, the State Government has prepared the framework of the PADMA scheme to promote the MSME sector,” said Khattar.
He said that soon this scheme will be launched; and under this, a new industrial cluster will be set up in every block with the goal of One Block-One Product. This will directly benefit the respective industries of that area, added the Chief Minister.
MAPPING WORK TO BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 2022
Khattar said that the campaign, being run on a large scale for agricultural land mapping work in the state, should be accelerated so that the agricultural land data of the state can be made available at the earliest.
The drone base mapping work of most of the villages of the state has been completed, he said. Like the Svamitva Yojana, the work of mapping the agricultural land of the state will be done and the revenue record will be linked with the Parivar Pehchan Patra.
“The large scale mapping work will be completed in three phases. In the first phase, the work of mapping the agricultural land of rural areas and mapping of the structures built on it will be done. In the second phase, mapping of industrial areas in the cities will be done. These will help in the measurement work. The Chief Minister said that Patwaris will be trained with rovers to do the work of mapping agricultural land. For this, two rovers (GPS) machines each will be purchased and provided at each tehsil level,” he said.
Khattar said that three teams were deployed at Panipat, Karnal, and Kurukshetra to carry out the land mapping work. Apart from this, more teams will be set up by March 15. In this way, a total of 44 teams will undertake land drone mapping work across the state, which will be completed by August 2022.
He said that in the first 5 villages, large scale mapping work was done on a trial basis. Now it has been started in the entire state.
