In many villages of the state, such quality products are prepared by skilled people, which can get good prices at national and international level, but due to lack of information, they have to be sold at local level at low prices.
• According to Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, the intention of the state government is to form a cluster in each block for the best products produced by the people of that block, where plots can be provided to the people for setting up industries like MSMEs. Facilities like electricity, water, road, bank, common service center will be provided in this cluster.
