The December edition of the State Development Monitor brings forward a special feature of developments in the State of Haryana at a glance. Further it aims to focus at developments made in all Indian states with respect to;

Economic Scenario Infrastructure Developments Health sector Rural Economy & Agri Business Developments Tourism Developments

The rankings for all states for the implementation of business reforms produced by the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion has been mentioned to analyse the growth performance of states so far.

Despite Demonetization the economic scenario among states has been scripted a steady growth scenario. Economic growth, as defined by the growth in Gross Domestic Product at constant (2011-12) market prices stood at 7.2 per cent during the first half of 2016-17.

Significant Infrastructure and Agri Business Developments have been witnessed in states in the month of December.

The Health sector the Government of India is implementing various schemes all across the country for reducing infant mortality on account of malnutrition and a Joint Initiative “Swachh Swasth Sarvatra’ of Health Ministry and Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation was launched achieve better health outcomes through improved sanitation and increased awareness and healthy lifestyles. At the tourism front, post demonetization the Government has taken a number of steps to ensure that no hardship is faced by the tourists and the industry is not affected. Government efforts have paid dividend as there has been a notable growth in the comparative figures of Foreign Tourists Arrival (FTA), Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) and online sale of e – tickets after demonetization.

As a special feature the development scenario in the state of Haryana has been highlighted it has been observed that the child sex ratio at birth (SRB) in Haryana for the first time has touched 900-mark in two decades. SRB in December 2016 in Haryana was 914. Further the government of Haryana on 25 December 2016 connected 100 villages in the state with WiFi services. It also decided to rename all common service centres (CSC), which have been opened in urban and rural areas, and E-disha centres as ‘Atal Seva Kendras’ at district headquarters.

Business Reform Action Plan Implementation Scorecard

Improving India’s regulatory framework for business is a key prerequisite for increasing

investment in India and thereby creating jobs. The Government of India has already embarked on

an ambitious agenda to improve India’s Doing Business rank to 50 by 2017; however, this effort

will only address a small subset of the regulatory burden on investors. Doing Business reforms will

only address central regulations, and regulations in Mumbai and Delhi; the rest of the country must

also improve simultaneously if we are to convert our reforms into results. It is with this objective

that, in December 2014, States agreed to a 98-point action plan to suggest potential reforms that

should be undertaken to improve the regulatory framework for business nationwide. More

importantly, this assessment allows us to generate a wide base of knowledge on how States have

been addressing the task of reducing the regulatory burden on business, and identifies a series of

good practices already underway in each State.

Growth of Various Sectors The growth in Gross Value Added (GVA) at constant (2011-12) basic prices of various sectors during the last three years is given in the following table:

Growth of GVA at Constant Basic Prices (Per cent) Sectors 2013-14 (2nd RE) 2014-15 (1st RE) 2015-16 (PE)

Economic growth, as defined by the growth in Gross Domestic Product at constant (2011-12) market prices stood at 7.2 per cent during the first half of 2016-17. According to the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) released by the Central Statistics Office, the production of capital goods sector contracted by 22.1 per cent during April-October 2016. Government’s industry-oriented initiatives like the Make-in-India and the accompanying measures to facilitate investment and business are likely to boost the industrial sector, including the capital goods sector. Government’s focus on improving the quality of public spending, coupled with the implementation of scheme for Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector that aims to make Indian capital goods industry globally competitive will help reviving the capital goods sector. The National Policy on Capital Goods Sector, approved by the Cabinet in May 2016, that envisages making India one of the top capital goods producing nations of the world by increasing production, raising exports and improving technology to advanced levels is also likely to strengthen the capital goods sector.

I. Developments in Economic Scenario

State of Telangana

In keeping with its commitments to support the development of backward areas of Telangana, the Central Government has provided a further “Special Assistance” of Rs. 450 crore to the state for 2016-17. Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 entrusts the Central Government to support the programmes for the development of backward areas in the successor States, including expansion of physical and social infrastructure. The Central Government had accordingly released Rs. 450 crore during 2015-16 for the development of 9 backward districts of Telangana. The backward districts which are being supported with this development fund are Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Medak, Mahbubnagar, Rangareddy, Nalgoda and Khammam. Cumulatively, the Central Government has so far released Rs. 900 crore to the State for this purpose. These additional resources from the Central Government would enable the State to devise and implement schemes best suited for mitigation of backwardness and alleviation of poverty. The developmental activities would improve the physical and social infrastructure bringing these districts at par with the more developed districts of the state.

The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways today reviewed the work progress of the National Highways in Odisha. In a meeting with the Odisha Government’s representative, the state of the existing highways totalling 4,847 kms was reviewed. Besides the review of above stretch, Highways totalling 1,789 kms for which DPR is under preparation, and also includes Bharatmala component of 500 kms, was also reviewed and the status of its implementation was discussed. The Ministry has also reviewed and discussed the various proposals received from public representatives to declare 2,506 kms of stretches of State Roads as National Highways and it was decided to forward the proposal details for this to the Government of Odisha.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the ambitious Chardham Mahamarg Vikas Pariyojna’on 27th December, 2016 at Parade Ground in Dehradun. The project aims at improving the connectivity to the Char Dham pilgrimage centres in the Himalayas, making journey to these centres safer, faster and more convenient.

The Chardham project includes developing 900 km of national highways in Uttarakhand at a total cost of Rs. 12000 crores. Work for 17 projects worth Rs 3000 crores have already been sanctioned and tendered. The entire length of the highways will be two-laned with paved shoulder and with a minimum width of 10 metres. There will be tunnels, bypasses, bridges, subways and viaducts to prevent traffic bottlenecks. A team of experts have been engaged to identify zones prone to landslides, and environment friendly techniques are being incorporated in the design to make these zones safer.

Wayside amenities and public facilities will be constructed all along the Chardham route, including parking spaces and helipad for emergency evacuation.

The Vijayawada-Ranchi corridor project was approved by Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure (CCI) covering a length of 600 kms in Odisha State. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has sanctioned estimates to the tune of Rs. 1348 crore. covering a length of 594 kms. So far a length of 310 kms has been completed incurring an expenditure of Rs. 683 crore under the scheme. The balance works are scheduled to be completed by March, 2018. Designs of Roads and structures have been adopted keeping in view Indian Road Congress (IRC) standards and safety aspects.

The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is considering a programme to replace old polluting

medium and heavy vehicles with fuel efficient vehicles. A concept note on ‘Vehicle Fleet

Modernization Programme’ was placed on 26th May, 2016 for stakeholders comments. In this it

was inter-alia proposed that old vehicles would get following financial benefits:

• The scrap value of the vehicle.

• Incentives from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and incentives from government.

It has now been decided to place the matter for consideration of Committee of Secretaries (CoS).

This programme will ensure phasing out of older polluting vehicles and enable their replacement

with fuel efficient and environment friendly vehicles. According to a study instituted by MoRTH and

carried out by M\s AT Kearney, MHCVs (trucks and buses) account for just 2.5% of total fleet

however they contribute over 60% of pollution. The vehicle emission standards were introduced

for the first time in India in 2000. Over a period these norms have been tightened. The resultant

effect is that the older vehicles emit higher degree of harmful pollutants as compared to newer

vehicles. Older vehicles also have lower fuel efficiency as compared to new vehicles, leading to

significant loss in energy efficiency (one of the key focus areas currently being pushed through

multiple initiatives like Prakash Path, LED program of the government). Committee of Secretaries

for Energy Conservation constituted by the Hon’ble Prime Minister has identified replacement of

heavy duty vehicles as a key initiative. In light of above, it is proposed to launch a targeted vehicle

modernization program to provide a major thrust to the country’s green initiatives.

This information was given by Minister of State for Road Transport & Highways, Shri Pon.

Radhakrishnan in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.

Japan has decided to be associated with the development of Chennai, Ahmedabad and Varanasi as smart cities. This was today conveyed by Japan’s Ambassador to India Mr.Kenji Hiramatsu during his meeting with Minister of Urban Development Shri M.Venkaiah Naidu. Mr.Hiramatsu further said that Japan is quite interested in urban development initiatives of the Government of India and decided to be a partner. Responding to Shri Naidu’ observation about the need for speedy action, Japan’s Envoy said “We would like to match the action oriented approach of the Government under Prime Minister Shri Modi”. Both of them discussed growing cooperation between the two countries further to the last meeting between the Prime Ministers of the two countries. High Commissioner of United Kingdom Mr.Dominic Asquith also met Shri Venkaiah Naidu and discussed converting into action the MoU signed between the two countries during the

recent visit of British Prime Minister to India Ms.Teresa May, on cooperation in urban development sector. He said institutionalizing Government to Government cooperation for smart city development has huge potential. So far, leading countries have come forward to be associated with development of 15 smart cities. These include: United States Trade Development Agency (USTDA) –Visakhapatnam, Ajmer and Allahabad, UK-Pune, Amaravati(Andhra Pradesh) and Indore, France-Chandigarh, Puducherry and Nagpur and Germany –Bhubaneswar, Coimbattore and Kochi.

National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) has begun to release funds for the Noida-Greater Noida Metro Project by disbursing the first loan installment of Rs.406 Cr, giving a fillip to speedy execution of this important metro project.

NCRPB had earlier sanctioned a loan of Rs.1,587 cr to Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) for the 29.70 km Noida-Greater Noida Metro Project that is estimated to cost Rs.5,533 cr. This 20 year loan, including a moratorium of five years for repayment of loan carries an interest rate of 7% per year and an incentive of 0.25% for timely repayment of installments. The targeted date of completion of this section is April, 2018.

Announcing the disbursement of the first installment of loan, Shri B.K.Tripathy, Member-Secretary, NCRPB said; “Noida-Greater Noida metro link is important for enabling a seamless travel in National Capital Region, which the Board is committed to promote. Further release of funds to this important section depends on physical and financial progress of the section. NCR Regional Plan-2021 emphasised the need for strengthening connectivity between NCR towns. Metro is emerging as the most efficient, fast, smooth and eco-friendly mode of public transport in the core of NCR.”

Further to launch of major new urban sector missions in June,2015, implementation of urban infrastructure projects got off a good start in 2016, the first year of execution. Brisk execution of urban infrastructure projects, approval of smart city plans for 60 cities, credit rating of cities for resource mobilization through municipal bonds, Swachh Bharat Mission picking up momentum in urban areas, enactment of Real Estate Act and notification of Real Estate Rules, large scale approval of construction of affordable houses for urban poor and

Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare Shri J P Nadda and Union Minister of Human

Resource Development Shri Prakash Javadekar launched ‘Swachh Swasth Sarvatra’ to

commemorate Good Governance Day. Swachh Swasth Sarvatra is a joint initiative of the

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation to

achieve better health outcomes through improved sanitation and increased awareness and

healthy lifestyles.

Addressing the participants, Shri Javadekar said that the Prime Minister has successfully

amplified the need for clean India and today this is the most popular programme that

resonates with citizens across India. Advancing from Swachh Bharat to Swastha Bharat is a

natural step. Open Defecation Free (ODF) should not be limited to creation of infrastructure

alone but it should also bring the positive change in the habits and mindset of

people.“Swachh Swastha Sarvatra” is a much needed programme to achieve open

defecation-free India by 2019. This should become people's movement and that is our

endeavor,” ShriJavadekar said. Terming children as change agents he stated, “I believe that

millions of students can become the change agents in driving ODF message in their homes,

villages and districts.”

To complement and leverage the efforts and achievements made so far, the MDWS and the

MOHFW have launched a joint initiative today- Swachh Swasth Sarvatra. The three key

components of Swachh Swasth Sarvatra are:

· Community Health Centres (CHCs) in ODF blocks supported to achieve Kayakalp certification

· Gram Panchayat of Kayakalp Primary Health Centres (PHCs) prioritized to become ODF

· Training in WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene ) of CHC/PHC nominees

As per the Rapid Survey of Children (2013-14), 29.4 per cent children below five years are

underweight, 38.7 per cent are stunted and 15.1 per cent are wasted. Malnutrition is not a

direct cause of death among children but can increase morbidity and mortality by reducing

the resistance to infections. However, it is estimated that malnutrition is a contributing

factor in about one-third of all deaths in under- five children in India, as per CHERG (2010)

Report. The Government of India is implementing various schemes all across the country for reducing infant mortality on account of malnutrition:

i. Provision of Supplementary food to children aged 6-36 months under Integrated Child Development Project (ICDS).

ii. Promotion of Institutional deliveries through cash incentive under Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) and Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram (JSSK) which entitles all pregnant women delivering in public health institutions to absolutely free and no expense ante-natal check-ups, delivery including Caesarean section, post-natal care and treatment of sick infants till one year of age.

iii. Strengthening of delivery points for providing comprehensive and quality Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) Services, ensuring essential newborn care at all delivery points, establishment of Special Newborn Care Units (SNCU), Newborn Stabilization Units (NBSU) and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) units for care of sick and small babies. Home Based Newborn Care (HBNC) is being provided by ASHAs to improve child rearing practices.

iv. Early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding for first six months and appropriate Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices are promoted in convergence with Ministry of Women and Child Development. Village Health and Nutrition Days (VHNDs) are observed for provision of maternal and child health services and creating awareness on maternal and child care including health and nutrition education. Government has recently launched “MAA” programme in order to increase awareness on breastfeeding and build capacities of the health workers on IYCF practices.

v. Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) is being supported to provide vaccination to children against many life threatening diseases such as Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Poliomyelitis, Tuberculosis, Measles, Hepatitis B, Meningitis and Pneumonia due to Haemophilus Influenzae type B.

vi. Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) for health screening, early detection of birth defects, diseases, deficiencies, development delays including disability and early intervention services has been operationalized to provide comprehensive care to all the children in the age group of 0-18 years in the community.

Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister, Shri Radha Mohan Singh today met Israeli delegation led by the Agriculture and Rural Development Minister of Israel, Shri Uri Ariel to discuss issues relating to bilateral cooperation in agriculture between India and Israel. Both sides expressed satisfaction over the progress made in cooperation in the agriculture and allied sectors between the two countries.

Both sides expressed their commitment to further strengthen bilateral relations in the field of Agriculture which is manifested by the fact that the third phase of Action Plan for 2015-18 in the field of Horticulture has recently been finalized by the two countries. Under this program, as many as 27 Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in the cultivation of various fruits and vegetables, in 21 states, are being set up, out of which 15 CoEs are complete.

Further, both sides expressed the hope that while continuing the two countries could embark upon newer areas of cooperation at the Government to Government and Business to Business levels between the two countries so as to further enhance the relationship.

The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modihas given its approval for

signing of an Agreement for cooperation in the field of Agriculture and allied sectors between

India and Portugal.

4.2 India and Israel committed to strengthen bilateral relations in the field of Agriculture

4.3 Cabinet approves signing of MoU between India and Portugal in the field of agriculture and allied

sectors

MoU and making concrete proposals for agriculture cooperation and develop guidelines and

priorities for future cooperation in the field of agriculture and allied sectors.

The Agreement shall enter into force on the date of its signing and shall remain in force for a

period of five years and shall be automatically extended for a subsequent period of five years

unless either Party gives written notice through diplomatic channels to the other Party of its

intention to terminate the Agreement at least six months before its expiration.

Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Radha Mohan Singh held a press conference to brief achievements and initiatives taken by his ministry during the last 30 months here today. On this occasion Shri Singh said that there is no adverse effect of demonetization and stated the examples of followings: 1. MILK SALE Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Radha Mohan Singh said that if study the data of sale of milk, we will find that there is no adverse effect of demonetization on this rather, it has increased. (a) AMUL: Before demonetization the average sale of milk per day was Rs. 64.55 crore. After demonetization it has increased to Rs. 74.25 crore per day in November-December. (b) MOTHER DAIRY: Similarly, before demonetization the average sale of Mother Dairy milk was 28.06 lakh litre, the average cost was Rs. 11.42 crore. After demonetization it has increased to 29.61 lakh litre per day. In November-December the average cost is Rs. 12.05 crore per day. (c) DELHI MILK SCHEME: Under Delhi Milk Scheme average sale was 2.70 lakh litre per day and average cost was Rs. 1.05 crore per day. After demonetization it has increased to 2.76 lakh litre in November-December, the average cost has become Rs. 1.07 crore per day. 2. SEED Shri Radha Mohan Singh said that if compare the data of 2016 with the data of sale of seed of Rabi 2015, we will find that in most of the states either the data has increased or it is equivalent. For example Madhya Pradesh State Seed Corporation sold 10.42 lakh quintal for sowing of Rabi 2015, it has increased to 11.93 lakh quintal this year. Similarly, Maharashtra State Seed Corporation sold 2.64 lakh quintal seeds during last year, this year

4.4 No adverse effect of demonetization: Shri Radha Mohan Singh

17

it is 2.7 lakh quintal. Karnataka State Seed Corporation sold 1.36 lakh quintal seeds during previous year, this year it is 1.49 lakh quintal. If study the data of National Seed Corporation then we will find that till 23rd December, 2015 5.51 lakh quintal seeds was sold by it. There is a slight decrease, it is 5.20 quintal this year. Similarly, in Telangana State the sale of seed was 1.55 lakh quintal in Rabi 2015 there is a slight decrease in it and it is 1.48 lakh quintal. In Uttarakhand also there is a slight decrease in it. It was 3.8 thousand quintal. In the year 2016 it is 3.7 thousand quintal. 3. NAFED Shri Singh further, said that similarly, it is clear from the study of data of NAFED before demonetization on 8th November 2016, the average sale of NAFED was Rs. 2 lakh per day which has increased 1 and half times after demonetization and it has become Rs. 3.70 lakh per day. The main reason of this was the continuation of circulation of old Rs. 500 and 1000 notes on the cooperative shops. In December 2016 this income has stabilized at Rs. 2.31 lakh per day which is more than the data of sale before demonetization.

The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has approved the

proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare for Signing of an Agreement

between India and Kyrgyzstan on cooperation in the field of agriculture and food related

industry. The proposed agreement between India and Kyrgyzstan covers various activities in the

Apart from exchange of information, the MOU also provided for cooperation in the field of

protection of plant variety rights; agricultural, food trade and horticulture; agricultural research

& education, horticultural research & education and food safety and standards; aquaculture and

After demonetization, the Government has taken a number of steps to ensure that no hardship is faced by the tourists and the industry is not affected. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) smoothly transitioned to cashless mode of payment by simplifying process of e – tickets. Government efforts have paid dividend as there has been a notable growth in the comparative figures of Foreign Tourists Arrival (FTA), Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) and online sale of e – tickets after demonetization. The figures for the same are as follows:

It can thus be observed that demonization did not have any impact on the Foreign Tourist Arrival

and Foreign Exchange Earnings which have shown robust growth over the comparative period last

year. It may also be noted that the number of e-tickets sold during 09-11-2016 to 08-12-2016

Haryana

S. No. Focus Area Suggestive Measures

1. Agri- agro Reforms Since the state has a diverse agro-ecology and cropping pattern it should increase agricultural productivity by implementing reforms in land settlement rules for the development of industrial and agro- infrastructure. The state should increase its share in the overall food grain production of India.

2. Infrastructure Development State infrastructure facilities should be improved by catering to the needs of industry for e.g. need based development such as focus on solid waste management, affordable clean water etc should be focused.

3. Transportation Reforms A good transport system is a major strength of any economy in order to move fast. Reforms in railways, roadways and airways are required for the long term growth perspective of the state. Improved transportation and logistics infrastructure would go a long way to enhance the competiveness of the state with special reference to its export scenario.

4.. Labour Reforms Labour is a major ingredient of the four factors of production. Labour reforms are needed in the state to help the industry to fasten and deepen the process of Industrialisation. The State should focus upon specific issues related to labour laws, it should create an agenda to solve issues annually and then monitor improvements.

5. Developing skill sets to enhance social infrastructure

The state should focus on development of core skills – including literacy, numeracy, communication skills, teamwork and problem-solving and other relevant skills – and learning abilities.

6. Obtaining Electricity Connections Creating an online application process with a facility to upload relevant supporting document can help in making the current process more efficient and productive.

7. Simplification of Environmental Procedures

The state should simplify the environmental/ pollution control procedures in order to fast track pollution control process. This will help the state to attract domestic as well as international investments.

8. Creation of more opportunities for setting up of Businesses

In order to promote business activities, the state will need to create a “comparative advantage“ when compared to other states for e.g. it might have to lower its existing taxes, charges etc.

Wi-fi in 100 Haryana villages

The government of Haryana on 25 December 2016 connected 100 villages in the state with Wi-Fi

services. It also decided to rename all common service centres (CSC), which have been opened in

urban and rural areas, and E-disha centres as ‘Atal Seva Kendras’ at district headquarters.

This decision was announced by the state’s Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar during the launch of

53 new IT services concerning six departments on the occasion of ‘Good Governance Day’, which is

celebrated every year to mark the birthday of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The minister also conducted a lucky draw of the digital transaction award scheme, which was. aimed

at promoting cashless transactions in the state. A total of 65 people were declared winners with five

winning a cash prize of Rs 10000 each, 10 winning a prize of Rs 5000 each and 50 winning a cash

prize of Rs 1000 each. All were rewarded for actively using cashless transactions.

Key Highlights

With the introduction of the new IT services, the residents of the villages would be able to access

170 e-services through the ‘Atal Seva Kendras’.

All the CSCs in rural areas would be shifted to Gram Sachivalyas so that all facilities are made

available to the people under one roof.

With this, facilities available at CSCs will also be made available at E-disha centres.

Apart from this, the state’s Chief Minister also stated that from now on, students passing class 10

and 12 from Haryana School Education Board would be getting their certificates through digital

locker.

Manohar Lal Khattar also launched a set up called ‘Knowledge Warehouse’ through video

conference in Gurgaon. The warehouse, which is a result of joint efforts put in by Nasscom and

Hartron, aims to serve as a platform that can help promote start-ups. Initially, only 40 start-ups

would be able to avail its services but later the number will be increased to 80.
