Haryana - Investment
and Industrial Policies
Education
Policy
- The Government of India's National Policy on Education,
1986 (modified in the year 1992) is a forthright statement
on Education as an empowering agent. The country has reached
a stage in its economic and technical development where
a major effort must be made to derive maximum benefit from
the assets already created and to ensure that the fruits
of development reach all sections. The NPE, thus, rightly
identified for focussed attention and intervention, a number
of thrust areas which inter-alia included education for
equality at all stages of education, open learning systems,
promoting efficiency and effectiveness at all levels and
making the system work through effective management of education.
- The Central Government while making certain modifications
in NPE (1986 ) in 1992 took a significant decision to direct
the State Governments to have their own State Programme
of Action for implementing the thrust areas of the policy
in view of local conditions keeping the spirit of NPE intact.
The State of Haryana also devised its own State POA in 1994.
The NPE further provided for a periodic review of the thrust
areas in consonance with the dynamics of education related
needs and aspirations of the populace. Hence the need now
to identify new areas of action & take suitable policy
initiatives.
Information
Technology Policy 2000
Information Technology (IT) would have a prominent and
progressive role in the new millennium as the single most
important enabler for improving efficiency and effectiveness
in organisations. The State Government recognises the role
of IT as an effective tool in catalysing economic activity,
in efficient governance and in developing human resource.
This policy seeks a deep impact initiative by the State Government
in encouraging replacement of traditional delivery system
of public services by IT driven system of governance that
works better, costs less and is capable of serving the citizens’
needs with ease. A high degree of public satisfaction through
transparent and efficient functioning of public domain activities
would be at the focus of IT initiative. Application of sunrise
technologies in transition to a knowledge based society, providing
equal opportunity to all in reaping the benefits of development,
harnessing vast potential of human endeavour and enriching
quality of life shall provide the long term underpinning of
socio-economic transformation of the State. This policy further
seeks to facilitate private domain initiative in e-transition
of Haryana by providing critical infrastructure, systems framework
and enabling environment.
Industrial
and Investment Policy - 2011 New
With a splendid economic growth, one of the highest per capita
income index, sound industrial infrastructure, strong manufacturing
base, advanced agriculture sector and vibrant service sector,
Haryana is among the highly economically developed and industrialised
States of India. The State has its manufacturing stronghold
particularly in sectors like automobile & auto components,
light engineering goods, IT & ITES, textile & apparels
and electrical & electronic goods.
Industrial
Policy 2005
Indian economy has indicated trends of strong growth and
if sustained, the country is slated to move into an orbit
of economic upsurge unwitnessed in the past. The Government
of India has taken initiative to support private effort by
further liberalizing EXIM and FDI regimes to enable growth
in all sectors of the economy. Reforms in the Banking and
Insurance sectors, strong commitment to Agriculture and Social
sectors, focused investments in infrastructure and promotion
of new technologies hold potential of sustaining growth.
Indian economic upsurge has thrown open global opportunities
for businesses to expand taking advantage of an enormous young
workforce, potential of frontier technologies, national capabilities
in assimilation of technological advancements, and outreach
to a strong domestic market. IP 2005 seeks to capture these
opportunities, leveraging the strengths of the State in agriculture
and its established comparative advantages in manufacturing,
for promotion of investment and taking industry to front ranks
of global competition. This would to be achieved through creation
of an efficient, investor friendly environment and supported
by coordinated development of infrastructure and sunrise areas.
Benefits of a strong growth of economy are sought to be dispersed
across the state and sectors.
Labour
Policy 2006
Haryana is fast emerging as one of the most favoured investment
destinations in India. The globalization of markets and a
buoyant economy have given a tremendous impetus to the industrial
sector in Haryana, which already has a competitive advantage
in terms of fortuitous location, basic infrastructure, a large,
skilled and young workforce and an enabling Industrial Policy.
In this scenario, Industrial Relations are poised at the threshold
of a new era in which an increasingly dynamic balance has
to be continually evolved between capital and labour, towards
productive efficiency with social justice. The Central Government
has also been emphasizing the need for reorienting labour
policies in
line with the newly emerging economic scenario.
Procurement
Policy New
It has been observed that the last quarter rush for
the purchase of store items is not a prudent financial practice.
The store items ought to be procured in a manner that the
budgetary provisions for the same are utilized in an evenly
spread manner throughout the year. As such, it is important
that the Departments prepare their procurement plans for the
year especially when the budgetary provisions are known to
each and every department/ organization as soon as the Appropriation
Bill is passed and the grants are communicated to all the
line departments by the Finance Department. The Finance Department
has already delegated the powers to issue financial/ administrative
sanctions within the approved plan budget subject to such
outflows being restricted to 20% of the annual plan budget
during the first quarter, 25% of the plan budget during the
second quarter, another 25% of the plan budget during the
third quarter and 30% during the last quarter of the financial
year.
Public
Private Partnership (PPP) Policy New
Government of Haryana (GoH) recognizes that a partnership approach
under Public Private Partnership (PPP) should be one of the
tools to deliver public services to improve the quality of life
of its people. The XI Plan document and stated policy of Haryana
Government (official website: haryana.gov.in), implicitly and
explicitly, recognize the role of private sector in development
of physical and social infrastructure.
RoW
Policy
Information Technology (IT) Policy 2000 and Development
of Communication Backbone Infrastructure in the State.
The State Government recognizes the role of Information
Technology as an effective tool in catalyzing economic activity,
providing good governance, improving the State economy, enhancing
the quality of life and ensuring development with equity.
Accordingly the Government of Haryana has recently announced
its comprehensive information technology policy, for an all-round
transformation of the State’s economy. The policy, further
seeks to facilitate private domain initiative in e-transition
of Haryana by providing critical infrastructure, system framework
and enabling environment. The policy also encourages distance
education through use of information technology tools, information
technology-enabled services for providing large-scale employment
and also to take Internet to the villages at the earliest
to spur economic growth in rural areas and to ensure that
the benefits of technology percolate down to the masses.
SEZ
Policy
Industrial Policy, 2005 lays down that the objective
of industrial and economic growth shall be achieved, amongst
other factors, by encouraging public private partnership in
infrastructure projects. In particular, development of industrial
infrastructure with private sector participation has been emphasized.
So far, the task of development of industrial infrastructure
viz, Industrial Estates has been entrusted to Haryana State
Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC). This Corporation
has developed industrial areas of over eight thousand acres
at different locations in the State. This also includes two
growth centers at Bawal and Saha and an Industrial Model Township
at Manesar (Gurgaon).
Transport
Policy 2010 New
No.S.O. 46/C.A.59/1988/S.99/2010.- Whereas, the Haryana
Roadways, a Haryana State Transport Undertaking is providing
transport services on all the inter-state and inter-state routes
except certain routes on link roads in Haryana allotted to the
unemployed youth through their co-operative transport societies
under the Scheme 1993 and Scheme 2001, and that the need for
passenger transportation has been increasing constantly which
is resulting into proliferation of unauthorized operation of
traffic in the State; therefore, in order to bridge the gap
between demand and supply of transport services, the Governor
of Haryana is of the opinion that for the purpose of providing
an efficient, adequate, economical and properly co-ordinated
road transport service, it is necessary and in the public interest
that passenger roads transport services in general should continue
to be run and operated by the State Transport Undertaking, namely
Haryana Roadways to the complete exclusion of other persons
except on routes specified under this scheme and those routes
situated on link roads and allotted to private Transport Co-operative
Societies of unemployed youth under the Scheme 1993 and Scheme
2001.
Website
Development, Hosting and Maintenance Policy
The IT Policy 2000 of the State emphasizes the use of
Web Technology to disseminate the information across the world
and to enhance the citizen-IT interface. Also, the Policy
recognizes the need of using Web Potential in bridging the
gap between the Government and the Citizen. Therefore, it
has been highlighted that wherever citizen interface is involved,
Web enabled applications will be developed. All public domain
information like official gazette notifications, acts, rules,
regulations, circulars, policies and programme documents would
be digitized and made available for electronic access on Web.
The NIC has developed, hosted and maintaining the official
website of the State at URL
http://haryana.nic.in. The websites of other departments
are also connected to this website.
The process of developing organization specific websites
has also started and a number Departments, Boards and Corporation
and district authorities have made their web presence. But,
this entire effort needs to streamlined and integrated into
a well knit web for the State Government. That gives impetus
to the preparation of a policy for the Website Development,
Hosting and Maintenance.
