Chandigarh, Feb 20 || Haryana Governor Ashim Kumar Ghosh on Friday said the state government has replaced “red tape” with a welcoming “red carpet” to transform the state into one of India’s most trusted investment destinations.
Policy clarity, strong infrastructure and reform-driven governance have significantly boosted investor confidence, attracted record investments and accelerated employment generation across the state, he said in his customary address on the first day of the Budget session of the assembly in the state capital.
Donning the traditional dress of West Bengal, Governor Ghosh began his speech by saying Vande Mataram is the “call of India’s soul”.
He said the essence of Vande Mataram was “ingrained” in the culture and folk songs.
Speaking about the Business Reforms Action Plan ranking released by the government of India in November last, he said the state secured ‘Top Achiever’ status with an impressive score of 99.50 per cent, implementing 400 difficult reforms.
The Governor highlighted that Haryana is now firmly positioned as a preferred hub for global and domestic investors.
