Govt ensuring benefits of development reach every part of state: Haryana CM
Interacting with Haryanvis living outside the state, Saini called upon them to remain connected with their roots and actively participate in the development of the state
Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday embarked on a three-day “Happening Haryana 2.0,” an international outreach and global capital campaign in Mumbai.
During the three-day investor summit being held from August 23 to 25, memorandums of understanding (MoUs) will be signed.
Interacting with Haryanvis living outside the state, Saini called upon them to remain connected with their roots and actively participate in the development of the state.The chief minister said that the relationship between Haryana and Mumbai is not merely one of birthplace and workplace, but a bond of values and opportunities, hard work and expansion. He said that Haryanvis settled in Mumbai are a living bridge between the two states.
“I have not come to you asking only for investment, but also for ideas and participation,” Saini said and urged the Haryanvi community to pass on its language, culture and traditions to the next generation.
Saini said that Haryana is no longer limited to its identity as an agriculture-based state. Industry, services, technology, startups, logistics, sports, education and innovation are emerging as key pillars of the state’s new development journey, he said.
He said the government is working to ensure that the benefits of development reach every part of the state and that youth in villages get access to quality education, skills and employment opportunities.
Saini said that Mumbai’s experience in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), fintech, media and entertainment, design, electric mobility, clean energy, sports management, agri-tech and global services is extremely important for Haryana. He said that a strong platform should be developed where Haryanvi youth living in Mumbai can connect with students, startups and institutions in Haryana to share their knowledge and experience.Haryana industries and commerce minister Rao Narbir Singh said that wherever Haryanvis have gone, they have achieved new milestones of success through their hard work and dedication. “Haryana is not only a leader in agriculture and sports, but is also rapidly advancing in industry, IT, automobiles, startups, education, healthcare and the services sector. The state government is creating an investor-friendly environment in Haryana and providing industries with the necessary facilities and better infrastructure,” Rao said. Amit Kumar Agrawal, commissioner and secretary, industries and commerce department, said that Haryana’s identity is now recognised not only across the country but also abroad.
