During a virtual discussion with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to step up investment, infrastructure, and growth, Punjab finance minister Manpreet Singh Badal recommended the case of Punjab for special packages to wean away from the agrarian state to industries.

Punjab needs some nourishment from the Government India as the state is facing new age challenges in the transition of agriculture, said the Finance Minister, while urging the Union Finance Minister to come out with some schemes PLI which was given to industry so that Punjab can successfully migrate to other crops or animal husbandry from two crop pattern.

It will not only increase the income of the farmers but also help in the conservation of groundwater and solve the problem of stubble burning which is again a burning issue in the country.

Manpreet sought the allotment of a Pharma park, a Food Park, and a Textile Park for Punjab, which will act as a game-changing step for Punjab.
