Haryana government focused on strengthening industry–labour synergy to accelerate economic growth: CM

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini stated that the state government’s primary focus is on developing a robust industrial sector and a skilled workforce to accelerate the overall progress of the state. The Chief Minister was chairing the first meeting of the ‘Industry Labour Friendly Council’ in Chandigarh.

Saini, who is the Chairperson of the Council, stated that no state can achieve economic progress unless industries function smoothly and workers remain prosperous and satisfied. Harmony between these two sectors is essential. Keeping this spirit of cooperation and mutual understanding in mind, the “Industry–Labour Friendly Council” has been constituted. Haryana is the first state in the country to establish such a Council.

He said that the government is working on the policy of ensuring “Ease of Doing Business” for industries and “Ease of Living” for workers. The Council will also review government announcements related to industry and labour, provide suggestions regarding worker safety, facilitate the resolution of industrial disputes, and promote the upgradation of skill development in technical institutions such as ITIs.

The Chief Minister further said that special emphasis will be laid on enhancing the productivity of workers employed in the state’s industries through this Council. Higher productivity will contribute to an increase in GDP, which forms the foundation of national and state development.

Saini stated that nearly two lakh micro and medium enterprises in Haryana were operating outside designated industrial areas and were unable to avail themselves of several facilities. To address this, the government launched a portal on December 25, 2025, enabling these enterprises to register and become regularized, thereby allowing them to benefit from various government schemes.

He informed that issues related to the transfer of plots from the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) to HSIIDC in certain industrial areas have also been resolved. Similarly, the government has approved the provision of land at concessional rates for ESIC hospitals for industrial workers.

The construction of affordable dormitory housing for workers in industrial areas is progressing swiftly. In districts facing space constraints within industrial areas, multi-level parking facilities will also be developed.
The Chief Minister added that the state government is making continuous efforts to further improve the industrial environment in Haryana to attract greater investment. This, he said, will help realize Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Viksit Bharat–2047.”
