CII congratulates Grand Alliance on Bihar Election win
New Delhi, Nov 8 (IBNS): The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on Sunday congratulated the Grand Alliance on its victory in Bihar and committed itself to work with the new Government in furthering the development agenda of the State.
The CII said it is confident that the new Government in Bihar will continue to be development oriented.
“Our best wishes go to the incoming Government, and I am sure the new government will dedicate itself to fulfilling the aspirations of the masses by leading Bihar to a new era of industrial development, economic growth and prosperity,” said Sumit Mazumder, President, CII.
Adding that CII looks forward to working closely with the new Government in areas such as Agri & Food Processing, Infrastructure, Manufacturing & MSMEs, ICT & e-Governance, Tourism, Healthcare, Education & Skill Development, Power & Energy and Environmental Sustainability, the CII statement said that the new government could leverage the PPP model, including FDI participation, to boost delivery of services and improve efficiencies.
"It also needs to undertake land zoning exercises to identify available land for industrialization. State Land Bank Corporations can then develop land banks for industrial development. The new Government could also enact a comprehensive regulatory reform in conjunction with the industry in order to make the state more attractive to operate from," the statement said.
RAdm A K Verma (Retd), Chairman, CII Eastern Region, said, “The Bihar Government has already signed a tripartite agreement with LKY School of Public Policy, Singapore, and CII to create a roadmap for ease of doing business in the state. Now our goal is to help spur industrial growth and spawn social well-being. We will also devote significant energy to education, skill development & employability, access to quality healthcare for all, and women’s empowerment,” RAdm Verma (Retd), said.
S P Sinha, Chairman, CII Bihar Council said, “As the premier industry association, CII looks forward to continue working closely with the new Government and bring perceptible changes in sectors and areas such as manufacturing, infrastructure, MSMEs, health, education, skill development and help meet people’s expectations.”
There is a need to form an integrated infrastructure development plan and create sector specific infrastructure support system, including urban infrastructure. Proper infrastructure should be made available to existing and proposed Industrial Parks/Clusters, such as- approach road, railway connectivity, quality and regular power supply, etc, the statement added.
