Punjab, which was once known for its ‘golden crops’ and ‘prosperous farmers’, is now returning to that path again. Due to the industry-friendly policies of the Aam Aadmi Party government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the series of global investments in Punjab continues. In this sequence, France’s giant multinational company Danone-Nutricia has decided to make a big investment of ₹356 crores in the state’s Agri-Food sector. This investment will not only strengthen Punjab’s agricultural economy, but will also create new employment opportunities for the youth. This will also strengthen the goal of making Punjab an Agri-Food Hub.
According to government figures, since the Mann government came to power, a total investment of more than ₹1.25 lakh crores has come to Punjab, which has provided direct employment to about 4.5 lakh youth. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has repeatedly stated that Punjab has hardworking youth, good connectivity and now a ‘Business Friendly Government’. This decision by a global investor like Danone-Nutricia shows that Punjab has now become a trustworthy and attractive center for investment. This achievement will prove significant in taking the state forward rapidly on the path of economic development.
More than 5,000 dairy farmers will be given training. They will be made aware of modern methods like quality milk production, animal care, and feed management. This will increase farmers’ income and improve milk quality. Danone-Nutricia is already present in Lalru, Punjab. Now with this investment, Punjab will become a production unit equipped with modern technology, and production of nutrition products will increase.
This investment shows that now Punjab will be recognized not only for farming, but also as an Agri-Food Innovation Hub. This will encourage foreign investment in the state and Punjab will be able to create its strong identity at the global level. This investment of ₹356 crores by Danone-Nutricia is the result of the Mann government’s transparent policy, farmers’ hard work and Punjab’s spirit of progress. This step will not only accelerate agri-economic development, but will also help in making Punjab a Global Investment Destination. All this has been possible due to the foresight and hard work of the Mann government, which has attracted big companies of the world towards Punjab.
The investment atmosphere in Punjab is improving due to the efforts of the Mann government. He has assured investors that working in Punjab is now easy, safe and profitable. This investment shows that Punjab’s image abroad is improving. This step of ₹356 crores by Danone-Nutricia strengthens Punjab’s old glory and new hope.
