The Chief Minister visited Hindustan Aeronautics Limited here on Wednesday. Discussions were held with HAL on setting up its centre in Madhya Pradesh, which are likely to yield positive results, Yadav said.
Nvidia has suggested preparing a blueprint for establishing Madhya Pradesh as the 'Intelligence Capital of India,' he said. "Under 'Invest Madhya Pradesh' session in Bengaluru, investment proposals worth around ₹3200 crore have been received in the state, which will create around 7,000 employment opportunities," the Chief Minister said.
"This visit was positive from the point of view of investment. Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka are like brothers, both the states have a similar atmosphere. The purpose of organising the 'Invest Madhya Pradesh' programme here was... so that more business and industry operators in Karnataka get more space to expand their activities," he said.
