Jharkhand Urban Development minister C P Singh today termed the Global Investors' Summit as historic as it was for the first time any government had organised such a medium to initiate development of the state.
"It is a historic day... So big an event has been organised for the development of the state... Besides central ministers, many investors from the country and abroad have come," Singh said while addressing a seminar - Urban Development and Smart City: Investment Opportunity in Jharkhand.
The people of the state desired to develop with the support of both the Centre and the state, an official release said quoting him.
Even now 24 per cent of people reside in city areas and only 45 city units are there, which need to develop and investors' assistance was necessary, he said.
He said Jharkhand was ready for investment and urged investors to see it as a potential (for investments) and they would not have any problems as there was transparency and single window system.
In his address to the investors, Union Urban Development Secretary Rajiv Gauba said Jharkhand was changing and along with its human resources and natural resources, transparent policy of the government was also there.
He said there was immense investment potential in infrastructure, medical, education and culture, and compared to other states, Jharkhand is backward in urbanisation and to increase it, the state government has initiated the Summit.
