Exhorting the Industrial tycoons of the region to play a proactive role in the development of the State, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Friday said that it would go a long way in heralding a new era of industrial development in the State.
Addressing a gathering at a function to felicitate business wizards and industrialists of the region, Badal said that time has come when the industrialists and the State Government must remove the communication gap between them and make joint efforts to build a new Punjab.
Eliciting the support of the industrialists in developing the key sectors like education and healthcare, Badal said that the industrialists of the State should take inspiration from their brethren of Gujarat and Kerala to develop their mother State.
“State is open to respond to the needs of industrial sector for which a routine discussion must be held between them and the entrepreneurs,” he added.
Badal said that in today’s changed scenario when Agriculture has reached a point of saturation, giving fillip to the Industry was the need of the hour due to which the SAD-BJP Government has taken path breaking initiatives to promote industrial development in the state.
“Punjab is being looked as the most favored destination for investment across the country, and to further attract huge investment in the State, Punjab Government would soon come up with an investor friendly New Industrial Policy,” he added.
