He also asked the PWD authorities to provide the best possible design of the hostels.
“Although the financial condition of the state was not good as it was reeling under the heavy debt burden of over Rs 75,000 crore, yet the state government was committed to provide all possible assistance for strengthening of infrastructure,” he said.

The chief minister said the state government was coming up with a special policy for wooing investment in major sectors such as education, health, tourism, hydro and food processing, so that Himachal Pradesh could be made self-sufficient and self-dependant state.
He said that active support and co-operation of employees and people of every section of society was solicited for ensuring that the state comes out of the debt trap and forges ahead on the path of progress and prosperity.
