How Punjab plans to show it means business
UDYOG KRANTI translates into industrial revolution, or an overhaul of the way business is conducted and the industry operates — in Punjab’s context, where it often struggles to operate. The AAP government says its new Udyog Kranti scheme is designed to reverse the state’s diminishing business prospects and make it an integral part of the India growth story. At a recent Invest Punjab summit in Mohali, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party convenor Arvind Kejriwal rolled out the ambitious scheme. They see it as a game-changer, but how it is implemented and the industry reacts is the big question.
