Saini said the visit would strengthen the state’s efforts towards “Viksit Haryana-Viksit Bharat”. He said Haryana was emerging as a reliable and attractive investment destination and that the government was working to provide transparent governance, infrastructure, connectivity, skilled manpower and a conducive business environment.
The chief minister said the government’s objective was not only to attract investment but also to ensure that projects were implemented within a time-bound framework and generated employment.
He cited Haryana’s proximity to the National Capital Region, road and rail connectivity, industrial base, skilled workforce and position as an industrial and automobile hub as key strengths.
The government said necessary action would be taken with concerned departments to convert the proposals into projects. Saini expressed confidence that implementation would create employment, expand technology use and strengthen healthcare, water management, education and skill development in the state.
