Zeal to make state a frontrunner

The ‘memorandum of dil se’ is an agreement directly from the heart. It is based on mutual trust and zeal to make Punjab a frontrunner in the industrial sector. The practice of forceful MoUs by arm-twisting industrialists has now withered away. Bhagwant Mann, Chief Minister

Addressing the gathering on the second day of the Progressive Punjab Investors’ Summit, the CM said, “The MoDS is an agreement directly from the heart. It is based on mutual trust and zeal to make Punjab a frontrunner in the industrial sector.”

He said the practice of forceful MoUs by arm-twisting industrialists has now withered away.

Mann added that the corporates had come on their own to become a partner of socio-economic growth of the state.

Along with bringing prosperity, industrial growth would create job opportunities for the youths, the CM said. He also announced the holding of sectoral summits in every quarter and said putting the state on higher growth trajectory was the need of the hour.

The CM reiterated the commitment of his government to make Punjab a vibrant and progressive state once again with support of the industry.
