Chandigarh, October 14
United States Ambassador to India Richard Verma has offered all help through USAID (United State Agency for International Development) and other such US agencies for the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” and nutrition programmes of the Haryana Government.
Verma, who called on CM Manohar Lal Khattar here today, also showed keen interest in state government’s initiative inviting US-based companies and entrepreneurs to invest in Haryana. He was happy to know that the state had decided to hold a “Happening Haryana Global Investors Summit” in February, 2016.
The US Ambassador said the US was willing to enhance mutual cooperation with the state government in setting up theme parks, food parks, online education and training, e-learning, skill-based training modules, student exchange programmes and women empowerment related projects. Verma extended an invitation to the state government to participate in the 5th US–India Aviation Summit being held at Mangalore on November 3 and 4. The government, on the other hand, will explore possibilities of providing land for setting up defence or aeronautical-related offset projects to US-based companies.
The CM said the government was in the process of setting up an international airport at Hisar, repair and overhaul (MRO) shop for engine overhaul, avionics and complete overhaul of aircraft. —TNS
