CHANDIGARH, MARCH 3
Taking the Public Private Partnership (PPP) route to
leverage own funds with funds available with the private sector to give infrastructure the
much-needed thrust, the Haryana Government has decided to invest Rs 50,000
crore in different projects in six core sectors across the state during the
12th Five Year Plan.
Disclosing this here today, an official spokesman said
that the Committee of Secretaries on Infrastructure had already approved certain projects for
implementation. The sectors which will attract investment included roads and
highways, healthcare, education and skill development, tourism, urban transport
system and water supply, sanitation and public utilities in both urban and
rural areas.
The state government plans to appoint transaction
advisors to prepare a
basket of projects in each of these segments for implementation.Besides drawing
on own resources, the state government intends to plough in the private sector
for bringing investment in infrastructure development all over the state in the
PPP mode.
The Infrastructure Development Fund (IDF) and the Infrastructure Augmentation Charges (IAC) which, between them, have a corpus of more than Rs 1,500 crore with regular revenue stream every year, will be utilized by the Haryana Infrastructure Development Board to be constituted under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

He said that the state government had also decided to
utilize the Building Construction Workers Cess Fund which is not being utilized optimally. These funds
would be used to build infrastructure, including dispensaries, poly-clinics,
anganwadis, primary schools, sewerage and public health facilities including
drains, public toilets. The infrastructure in areas, largely inhabited by
building construction workers, can also be utilised by other poor people. The
state government would be able to galvanize about Rs 1,000 crore in one or two
years for the purpose, he added.
