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.
Food
Processing Policy 2002
Haryana has made a significant contribution in agricultural
production in the country. To make further headway in economic
front, it has to concrete on food processing and Agro based
industries since it enjoys the natural advantage of locally
available inputs. With this in view particularly having considered
the potential of this industry for diversification and commercialization
of agriculture, employment generation in rural and Urban areas,
value addition and export possibilities, the State has identified
the Food Processing and Agro Based Industry as a thrust area.
In Haryana, more than 210 food processing and agro-based industries
in large and medium sector, which have been set up with an
investment of and Rs. 1216 crore and are providing direct
employment to over 50,000 persons. A large number of SSI units
have also come up in the State food processing industries.
Haryana is one of the largest exporters of rice, pickles guargum
cotton yarn and several other food products. There are large
number of units in the State which are engaged in manufacturing
and export of processed vegetables, noodles, dalia, tomato
puree, fruit juice, confectionery items, soft drinks etc.
Food Processed and Agro based products worth Rs 1,500 crores
are being exported annually from the State including export
of pickles worth Rs. 200 crore.
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
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 New
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.
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 New
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).
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.
