Water and Irrigation

Budget and Irrigation - Recommendations

• Increase of weather monitoring infrastructure like Doppler radars• Increase the area under micro irrigation scheme (sprinkler & drip

irrigation) from 3% to 6% (Gujarat 11% Rajasthan 6%, Maharashtra 26%)• Join hands with National innovation foundation (NIF), situated in Gujarat

to gain from innovative technologies in cultivation and irrigation• semi circular check dam – (4 days, Rs 10000 )• Hand operated Water lifting device

• Rain water harvesting and development of small ponds/ lakes for conserving rain water

• Increase the current small hydro-power (SHP) output– potential is 410 MW but generation is 41 MW

• Speed up projects like Rajghat Project, Rangawan Canal Project and Sukta projects

Budget and Irrigation

• The efficiency of water supply utilities is poor in level 2 cities like Gwalior, Ratlam, Rewa, Bhind. However, that of small towns like Guna (99.27%) and Vidisha (99.63%) are the best in the state. These cities should adopt the operations or methods from Guna and other cities like Bhopal, Indore and improve on this front.

• State wide drinking water grid to transfer water efficiently particularly during droughts

• Government of M.P. earned around 0.56% from sale of water in 2008-09 which increased in 2009-10 by around 114%. This should be further exploited to earn a greater revenue.

• Implementation of integrated software based water planning and evaluation system (like WEAP in Gujarat)

• Increase the overall outlay for irrigation and water supply from 7% to 12% for a better growth of agriculture (currently targeted 5%)

INDUSTRies

Recommendations for Industries

• SEZs Development: Land on lease, tax holidays, relax excise duty for 5-10 years

• Automotive: Leveraging on auto components leadership to attract OEMs to set up their facilities;

• Single window clearance system• Leverage on high tele-density (85%):

– Mobile banking facilities for financial inclusion in rural areas – Agricultural information dissemination to farmers

• Attract Investors: – Develop Investors Support System to strengthen information

dissemination mechanism– Investors summit similar to ‘Vibrant Gujarat’

MP’s outlook towards SEZ

Proposal to upgrade Indore airport as an international airport State to contribute equity in form of land Single agency clearance under a Development Commissioner

for notified SEZ Freedom regarding generation, transmission and distribution

of power within the SEZ along with connectivity to state grid SEZ to be declared as Industrial Township SEZ project to be implemented with private sector

partnership

Supply of Labor– Seating capacity of existing 288 ITIs should be increased from 155 (average) to 300– Third party/NGOs should be roped in for certification and grading of Skilled Labour– Existing institutes can register themselves as VTPs under Ministry of labor’s Skill

Development Initiative (One time fund of 3 lakhs from center) – Expected cost of doing this – Rs 372 Crore

Empowerment of MPSIDC: This will require MP Govt. to identify the zones and allocate the budget for land

acquisition in advance. Expected Cost – (Will be based on the amount of land to be acquired approx – 40 to 50 thousand acres)

• Twin policy for land acquisition : Participative policy for land owners who get market price for land acquired from them. They also get 10% of price secured from industries allocated to the land and 1% holding of developed plots.

• Developing estates on PPP model - Sector Specific Industrial Parks can be set up by SMEs who will get 50% of costs reimbursed.

Action Plan for adopting the policy of NIMZ

Hardware technology parks for manufacturing units in computers, telecommunication equipment, entertainment, electronics, auto, and related ancillaries would be established at Pithampur, Mandideep, Malanpur and other industrial growth centers

Strengthening Investor Facilitation: – Set up State Investor Promotion and Infrastructure development Cell (IP-ID)– Set up an online portal to disseminate info about investment climate and

facilities in MP and match making services– Symposiums in Indore, Mumbai, Delhi etc. for investment promotion– Collaborate with CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM etc. to showcase state’s strengths– Special promotion to FDI and special packages for big industries and SSI / SME

clusters– Development and maintenance of state highway under IP & ID - 230 crores

Action Plan for adopting the policy of NIMZ

IT InDUSTRY

Recommendations for IT Industry

Incentive to both local and big players in setting up offices at Indore and Bhopal o In addition to getting the big companies to setup offices for IT/ITES in the IT parks of

the state, give incentives for the local players to set up offices. e.g. Technopark, Keralao Extend the tax break for new joiners in the park and support budding entrepreneurso Give concessions to the new entrants on registration charges

Lower tax rates on computers and computer peripherals and on hardware maintenance Exempt entry and purchase tax on infrastructure investment like buying computers, setting up

logistics during the implementation stage. If required, extend this tax break to 5 years Exempt from sales tax for 5 years up to a specified amount For IT industry setting up their own power generation, exempt tax on power equipments Pave way for completion of the unfinished IT park at Indore as soon as possible, thereby

showing the intent of the government Give incentive and tax break only to IT companies generating more than 1000 regular

employments in the state Single window clearance for setting up IT industry, minimize red tape & decrease set up time

Recommendations for IT Industry

Setting up communication and infrastructure of the IT centers Direct flights connected to all the major IT destinations of the country- Delhi, Mumbai ,

Hyderabad are already connected directly; push for direct flights from Kolkata, Bangalore, and Chennai

Connectivity to the IT parks very convenient (Better roads, transportation & communities) Get the 4 approved IT parks operational as early as possible (within an year latest)Developing Manpower – Push towards building manpower for ITES-BPO Start investing in manpower for IT/ITES. IT as an elective at high-school level, such that by

2014 at least 30% students passing class 10 are capable of working in the ITES/BPO industry NAC (Nasscom Assessment of Competence) Test, is a standardized entry level exam for IT

BPO Industry. Allow limited number of candidates from Madhya Pradesh to appear for this test free of cost each year in Indore/Bhopal. This would provide a huge locally available manpower for the ITES industry

Soft-skill enhancement and English speaking training for youth to make them employable in the ITES industry. Provide free soft-skill training to government urban and rural schools

Liberalize technical college education, so that people from all over the country can study in the technical colleges of the state and can get recruited in MP’s IT companies
