Development Missoins of The Sukhbir Singh Badal Government

After forming the government in 2007, the Shiromani Akali Dal government has been continuously working towards bringing development in Punjab. The SAD leaders, Mr. Parkash Singh Badal who is the honourable CM of Punjab and Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal, the party president and the deputy CM envisioned a 360 degree development, that is, development in every section of the society of Punjab. The SAD government undertook various missions for a Progressive Punjab which they hope to fulfill in the next three years.

• Every town of Punjab to be connected with 4-6 lane expressways.

The SAD-BJP government has undertaken a mission to build 4-6 lane expressways that will connect every town and city of the state. This will bring infrastructural development and will also reduce the traffic chaos in the state.

• Industrial package for Punjab: Incentives to new industrial units and those planning expansion.

The SAD government is working towards the mission which provides an excellent package for the new industrial units and the ones planning expansion. The package includes, 100% excise duty exemption, 100% income tax exemption, Capital investment subsidy at 15% on investment in plant and machinery and freight subsidy. The SAD leaders have already implemented this policy and are giving these subsidies to new traders to enhance trade in the state of Punjab.

• To develop Amritsar, Mohali and Ludhiana as industrial hubs.

The SAD government hopes to make Punjab an IT hub of the country like Bengaluru and for that, they are enhancing IT set-ups in Amritsar, Mohali and Ludhiana. Recently, they laid the foundation stone of the leading IT company of India, Infosys in Mohali and have given the space to other IT comapies to set up their campuses there. This will generate more skilled employement for the people and would help the cities to develop as IT hubs for the state.

The SAD government has changed the entire face of the state and is bringing continuous development. This mission will get fulfilled effectively with the support from the centre which will only be possible with the coming of a Pro-Punjab NDA government at the centre with Shri Narendra Modi as the PM of India. Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal has termed Modi as 'Movement of Developing India' and he believes that only the the SAD-BJP alliance can bring unprecedented development in Punjab.
