Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said the forthcoming State Budget will be dedicated to the welfare of every citizen and all sections of society.

As part of the ongoing pre-Budget consultation meetings, the Chief Minister on Friday held a direct interaction with representatives of the industry and manufacturing sector at Surajkund in Faridabad. Saini said that industries are developing at a rapid pace in Haryana and large industrial units are continuously choosing the State as their destination. Keeping this in view, the State Government is formulating new policies to create a better industrial ecosystem. He assured that there would be no shortfall in budgetary provisions for industrial development. The Government has set a target that the upcoming Budget should be increasingly industry-friendly so as to strengthen the State’s economy and contribute towards achieving the goal of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. He added that the purpose of such platforms is to realize the spirit of participatory democracy and participatory governance so that the pace of Haryana’s development can be further accelerated.
71 suggestions from pre-Budget consultations implemented in last year’s Budget
The Chief Minister said that the Haryana Government had also organized pre-Budget consultation meetings last year, which witnessed detailed and meaningful deliberations, and 71 suggestions received during those consultations were directly incorporated into the Budget.

He said that the valuable suggestions of stakeholders, their understanding, and strong departmental coordination have played a major role behind these achievements.
No compromise in Budget provisions for industrial development
