Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that to promote investment in the state, full attention should be paid to the facilities and conveniences of the investors. Instructing the high officials to personally maintain regular contact with the top fifty investors investing in the state, the Chief Minister said that investment friends should be deployed for the convenience of investors. The Chief Minister also directed to continuously monitor the process from ease of doing business, enterprise registration to land allotment and to make the single window system more simple.
The Chief Minister said that the number of beneficiaries under the CM Swarojgar Yojana should be increased further. This scheme is proving to be very effective in the state. So far about thirty-five thousand people have benefited from this scheme. Along with wide publicity of all the new policies brought in the state, efforts should be made to benefit more and more youth from these policies. Under the export policy, along with promoting the products of the state, people associated with export should also be encouraged. Along with giving priority to handloom, homestay and agro-based small industries in the hilly districts, the Chief Minister also directed to open youth incubation centers by linking the startup policy with the industry department.
