Creating an Industry-Friendly Punjab
The Maan Government is determined to position Punjab as an industrial powerhouse. By addressing the infrastructural and procedural challenges, the state is laying a strong foundation for industrial growth:
Comprehensive Infrastructure Development: Punjab is investing in essential infrastructure like electricity, water, and roads to attract and retain industrial investments.
Single-Window System: A streamlined system for clearances and approvals has been implemented, significantly reducing bureaucratic hurdles for setting up businesses.
Innovative Policies: Initiatives like the introduction of Green Stamp Paper have simplified processes, making it easier for industries to establish their presence in Punjab.
Boosting Employment and Revitalizing the Economy
The government’s focus on industrial growth is directly contributing to job creation. By facilitating the establishment of industries, Punjab is ensuring that its citizens have access to meaningful employment opportunities. This aligns with the Maan Government’s vision of a ‘Rangla Punjab,’ a prosperous and vibrant state where every individual thrives.
Transforming Punjab into a Trader-Friendly State
