Punjab’s economy &
business needs to get a push. We have seen dark days in 80’s & 90’s and the
economy was really not given the required attention. In the aftermath of those
dark days a lot of industries had left Punjab because of the problems and the ones
that stayed suffered because of state apathy. The time has come to grow the
environment that will attract industrial actors back to the state. The
Progressive Punjab Investors Summit held in December last year,
successfully firmed up investment commitments worth more than Rs 65,000 crore,
but now it is time to follow through. Giving incentives to other states and not
to Punjab will only be counterproductive. The extend tax and other special
incentives given to Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand must be
extended to Punjab as well.
Enterprising Punjabi entrepreneurs have scripted great success stories in the past – within the state, across India and even overseas. The state must continue to grow this spirit and not let it slip across to nearby towns such as Baddi in Himachal Pradesh or Kathua in J&K which are quite close to Punjab. Punjab needs fresh investments to create thousands of new jobs and boost industrial output. In fact, it deserves a special industrial package which is crucial for the state’s rural developmentprogrammes and overall economic prosperity.
