Chandigarh, Jan. 24 -- Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday said the state will soon develop one smart agriculture zone and one smart industrial zone, where farmers and industrialists will be provided with a range of special facilities and modern infrastructure. The chief minister made this announcement while chairing a review meeting of the 2025-26 budget proposals announced by the industries and commerce department. While reviewing the progress of construction of dormitories and single-room housing units for industrial workers in Industrial Model Townships (IMTs) in Manesar, Bawal and Kundli, the chief minister said that housing requirements in all industrial areas should be assessed. Saini said that wherever there is a need for worker accommodation, comprehensive housing plans should be prepared in consultation with concerned industrial associations. He said that providing affordable housing near workplaces would not only benefit workers but also enhance productivity and work quality. Saini said that incubation centres be established in all industrial estates to enable startups to operate at concessional rates. Officials said that land has already been identified for a proposed incubation centre for Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing Technology at IMT Manesar, and for the electric vehicle and automotive sector at IMT, Kharkhoda. The process to establish incubation centres at other locations is underway. htc...
