Furthermore, the government is inclined to complete development works that were stalled during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) period at a fast pace, giving rise to an atmosphere of enthusiasm in agriculture, industry and services sectors, he said. Talking about the state government’s commitment to get farmers out of natural crisis, he claimed that the government has approved Rs 1,470 crore to compensate for the losses suffered by farmers due to unseasonal rains and hailstorms, as per the Economic Survey.
