At a meeting here to determine the Plan size between the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman, Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, and the State Chief Minister, Mr Pawan Chamling, Mr Ahluwalia lauded the State for doing well on all fronts. He, however, urged the State to further strengthen the small-scale industry and seed production for which it has ideal weather conditions. He said during the 11th Plan, the focus should be on achieving self-reliance in foodgrains production. The Plan panel urged Sikkim to encourage public-private partnerships in developing physical and social infrastructure. Eco-tourism, floriculture and traditional medicines need to be given higher priority.
