Informing the Assembly, Mitra said 156 proposals worth Rs 28,318 crore had been received and have employment generation potential of 1.52 lakh people.
Between June 2011 and January 2014, 296 projects are either in initiation or under implementation that would entail a total investment of Rs 78,092 crore.
Mitra informed the House that this investment would result into an employment generation of 1.55 lakh people.

The state Finance Minister today said Government has a core committee under Chief Minister, a task force with six departments, relationship managers to oversee fast and speedy clearance of projects.
He said Silpa Sathi is a single window system and common application form is used to minimise paperwork.
