Ludhiana (Punjab) [India], July 7 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav participated in 'Interactive Session on Investment Opportunities in Madhya Pradesh' event held in Punjab's Ludhiana on Monday and said that the response he received from Punjab was very encouraging.
CM Yadav also emphasised that businessmen in Punjab already have relations with Madhya Pradesh and to strengthen that relationship, businessmen should establish businesses in Punjab as well as in Madhya Pradesh too.
Speaking to ANI, the CM said, "The response that we are getting from Punjab is very encouraging. We held a discussion session with over 400 businessmen here in Ludhiana. I had the opportunity to meet one-on-one with more than 15 businessmen. Ludhiana is like the capital of business in India. I believe businessmen in Punjab already have relations with Madhya Pradesh. To strengthen that relationship, they should establish businesses in Punjab and Madhya Pradesh too."
"We came here to discuss the schemes of various departments transparently and the state government motivates and encourages entrepreneurs to set up industries on the basis of its policies. And especially electricity, water, land, connectivity, all these things are easily available and this is what entrepreneurs need so that they can deliver their products across the country and to the world. In such a situation, Madhya Pradesh is an ideal destination," he added.
