Bhopal:
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has
appealed to non-resident Indians to invest in technical and other
educational institutions of private sector or public-private
participation with a view to increasing the technical and
educational skills. The Chief Minister was addressing the NRIs at
the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on
Saturday. Madhya Pradesh government will extend all possible help
for this.
Chouhan has urged for establishing
food and processing units in view of abundance of agricultural
produce in Madhya Pradesh. Good quality of wheat, oilseeds and
vegetables are grown in Madhya Pradesh. There are unlimited
possibilities of agriculture-based food processing. On one hand
ample material is available for setting up industries in Madhya
Pradesh and on the other the state has ample land, power, water and
skilled and unskilled manpower. Drawing attention towards global
warming, Shri Chouhan said that still there is 30 percent forest
cover in the state which is not only adding to the natural beauty
but is also giving a challenge to global warming, an official Press
release said.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan told the
NRIs that three investors' corridors are being constructed in Madhya
Pradesh. A township will be established for non-resident Indians
between Bhopal and Indore where all the facilities will be made
available to non-resident Indian investors. The most sought-after
thing for investment is peace. In this regard, Madhya Pradesh
presents best conditions. Madhya Pradesh is an investor-friendly
state where all the licences for land, power, water etc for
establishing industries are provided at one place. A mines
university is also being established in view of abundance of mineral
resources in Madhya Pradesh where youths will be prepared for
working in mining sector.
Chouhan invited the non-resident
Indians to take part in the investors meets to be held at Bhopal and
Indore on January 12 for investments in food processing sector. He
also invited all the NRIs to visit Madhya Pradesh. A guest is like
God for us and dearer to us than life. Madhya Pradesh will welcome
the guests with the core of heart. There is no discrimination in
Madhya Pradesh between east & west, north & south. Anyone who comes
to Madhya Pradesh becomes a part of it.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan also urged
the NRIs to invest in power generation sector in the state in view
of ample availability of coal in Madhya Pradesh. The power plants
under construction these days will make the state self-reliant in
its power related needs in some years. Not only this, but Madhya
Pradesh will also supply surplus power to other states as well.
Those who also attended the Pravasi
Bharti Diwas function included Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi
Azad, Minister for Overseas Indians Affairs Vyalar Ravi, Gujarat
Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok
Chavan, j & K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Punjab Deputy Chief
Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and Planning Commission Deputy
Chairperson Montek Singh Ahluwalia apart from large number
non-resident Indians.
