Madhya Pradesh Gets Rs 20K Cr Investment Proposal At Kolkata Road Show

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): An investment proposal worth Rs 20,000 crore was received at a road show organised by the MP government in Kolkata on Friday.  

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav held a one-to-one interaction with 28 industrialists.

More than 700 representatives of various industries took part in the Kolkata road show before the Global Investors’ Summit (GIS) to be held in Bhopal. Diplomats of ten countries were also present at the event.

The governments generally look obliquely at businessmen, but this attitude needs to be changed, he said.

“To get some work done, one has to be big-hearted. If need be, government will help industrialists out of the way for setting up units,” Yadav said.

“I have come from Ujjain, the land of Mahakaal. Kolkata is the land of Mahakali, so the country should be made prosperous from Mahakaal to Mahakali,” Yadav said.
