CHANDIGARH, FEB 20
The Haryana Government today offered full support to France to set up industrial units in the State besides offering to set up French Institutes in the Universities of the State.
          This offer was made by Chief Minister Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda in a meeting with Ambassador of France to India Mr. Francois Richier here today after Mr. Francois evinced keen interest in mutual cooperation with Haryana in the field of education, urban planning and setting up industrial units.
Mr. Francois thanked Mr. Hooda for this offer and assured him that he would take up this proposal with the French authorities.
          Mr. Hooda said that Haryana is among the leading industrial States of the country. He said that we have set up Industrial Model Townships (IMTs) in the State equipped with all the facilities like infrastructural, water, roads etc. Mr. Hooda said that Haryana is also fast emerging as an education hub. Rajiv Gandhi Education City is coming up at Kundli, Rai in district Sonipat where educational institutes of international repute are setting up their campuses. On being fully developed, it would offer wide range of courses including French, added Mr. Hooda.  He said that the State Government has also set up language labs in various government collages of the State with a view to increase the communication skills  of the students to match the global requirement.
          On mutual cooperation in the field of Urban Planning, Mr. Hooda said Haryana has witnessed rapid industrialization in the recent past particularly in the NCR region therefore there is a lot of scope of mutual cooperation between Haryana and France in the field of urban planning and management. He said that recently two more districts namely Karnal and Jind have also been included in the NCR region.  Apart from this, sewerage management, water supply management and solid waste management are also among the other key areas where mutual cooperation between France and Haryana could go a long way.
          Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Mr. S.S Dhillon, Additional Chief Secretary, Industries Mr. Y.S Malik and Managing Director, Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructural Corporation (HSIIDC) Mr. Tarun Bajaj was also present on this occasion.
