New Delhi, December 22, 2015: The Haryana Government is not only committed to promoting industry and giving job creation a leg-up but will also work to provide affordable housing to the industrial labour to enable them to give their best in boosting production.

“That Haryana is fast emerging as a centre of attraction for industry and investment is borne out by the fact that as many as 25 leading industrialists came to meet me during the day though meetings had been fixed with only 8 to 10”, said Mr Manohar Lal.
The Chief Minister said that with a view to provide conducive atmosphere for industrial investment in the state and to realizing the aim of Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi, the state government has implemented the New Enterprises Promotion Policy 2015.

He said that by taking a big decision in the favour of labourers , the government has increased the minimum wages of the labourers by 40 to 45 per cent. While replying to a question, he said that with a view to provide better housing facilities to the industrial labours, a provision has been made in the New Industrial Policy, in which the industrialists would be bound to give housing facility to them. He said that in the past the people belonging to weaker sections of the society were actually deprived of houses constructed for them by the private builders, but we have ensured that these houses are allotted to them. Besides, Affordable Housing Scheme has been implemented so that the common man could get houses at nominal prices.
While referring to the High Level Delegation led by him which visited America and Canada in August 2015, he said that during their visit, the foreign investors had shown keen interest in investing in Haryana. In the same series, a delegation from Haryana is visiting Japan and China from January 17 to 25 to attract the prospective for investors of both the countries to invest in Haryana. When asked about the recent visit of Wanda Group of China to Haryana, he said that the group has evinced keen interest in making investment in Haryana and talks are on in this regard.
