On the directions of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khatter, in a review meeting held at Chandigarh Chief Secretary Haryana Sanjeev Kaushal held a review meeting with the officers of Haryana state industry department, HSIIDC and Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSME) told that more than 19 lakh youths in the state have been offered employment in MSME units in the state and directed all present to implement beneficial schemes offered by the state government to those willing to set up new industry in the state. A general survey by media persons in this regard reveals that many youths are willing to make investment and start their own industrial units in the state but had to drop the idea due to lengthy government procedures as well as lack of cooperation in concerned government offices although usually claimed by the government that all facilities are available under a roof which is merely on papers only they said.
Most of the young entrepreneurs willing to start industry told that getting various permissions from the government to start a industry which include obtaining a production license, permission from municipal corporation or committee, getting power supply from electricity department, obtaining no objection certificate from different government departments like industry, state pollution control board, fire department and getting financial support from banks and other institutions was too difficult and most of the youths after moving from one table to another in these government offices for a long time in the absence of cooperation in these offices lost interest in making investment in setting up a industry and started looking for job.
Chief Secretary Haryana directed all those government officers present in the meeting to extend full cooperation to visitors in their office and also to submit a report of last quarter of this year desiring industry investment up to Rs 1 crore to provide assured turnover up to Rs 5 crore in case of a micro industry, similarly turnover up to Rs 50 crore on the investment of Rs 5 crore in case of a small industry and Rs 250 crore turnover on investment up to Rs 50 crore in case of a medium industry.
