After almost 11 years, various exporters of Haryana got recognition when the State Government honoured them for their export performance… Manohar Lal Khattar, Chief Minister of Haryana not only honoured 111 exporters, but also directly interacted with them and listened their grievances, and assured them of continuous support.
Organized by the Department of Industries & Commerce, the state-level function for the distribution of export awards took place in Gurgaon. Though most of the exporters still have basic problems of infrastructure like road, proper electricity supply, etc., some even raised individual issues like non-availability of plots in industrial areas or very high price of plots. The CM said that the Government is serious about all these issues and will see what can be done. “We are proud that Haryana is on 5th rank when it comes to ease-of-doing business, while earlier it was on 14th spot. Gurgaon Development Authority (GDA) is supposed to be operational in next one year and it will help a lot as far as Gurgoan-based industry is concerned.”
