Special emphasis is also being laid on connecting farmers with modern technology, processing, branding and exports, and integrating MSMEs with larger supply chains.
The Chief Minister told the diaspora that they possess experience, expertise, business networks and resources that can prove valuable for Haryana’s youth, entrepreneurs and institutions. He said, “I have not come to you asking only for investment, but also for ideas and participation.” He called upon the diaspora to contribute by mentoring students and startups, supporting sportspersons, connecting women’s self-help groups with markets, and helping Haryana’s products reach Mumbai and global markets.
*CM calls for linking Haryana with Mumbai’s expertise*
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that Mumbai’s experience in areas such as artificial intelligence, 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.
The Chief Minister also urged the Haryanvi community to pass on its language, culture and traditions to the next generation. The Haryana Government is committed to maintaining continuous engagement with its citizens living outside the state. He said, “Haryana is not far from you. In happiness, adversity, opportunity and responsibility, Haryana stands with you like a family.”
*Haryana is not a leader only in agriculture and sports but in industry too– Rao Narbir Singh*
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 a leader only 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.
*Haryana is moving forward with confidence towards becoming a developed state while preserving its traditional values – Dr. Amit Kumar Agrawal*
