Investors Elude Himachal

This is regarding Himachal This Week’s cover story of January 14, 2017, “Investors Elude Himachal”. The state government has organised different investor meets in different cities of the country where investors came up with proposal worth several hundred crores of rupees. However, these are yet to be realized on the ground. It is a fact that rapid industrialisation in this Himachal will not only strengthen state’s economy but also open numerous employment opportunities. Even as the state has decided to establish new industrial areas but it also need to simplify the process for establishing new industries.

Impact of Education

Annual Status of Education Report 2016 reflects towards a strong educational system prevalent in Himachal. It is not easy to achieve literacy rate and improve quality of education simultaneously in a hilly state. However, it is a matter for pride for all if Himachal is placed ahead of Kerala in this report. According to survey enrolment percentage is 99.8 in the age group from six to fourteen years. It is fact that teachers posted in government schools are highly qualified as compared to their counterparts in private educational institutes. And this report is good news for those who still admit their children in government schools.
