Punjab, once known for its "golden crops" and prosperous farmers, is now returning to that path. The industry-friendly policies of the Aam Aadmi Party government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann have led to a steady flow of global investment into Punjab. In this vein, French multinational giant Danone-Nutricia has decided to make a major investment of ₹356 crore in the state's agri-food sector. This investment will not only strengthen Punjab's agricultural economy but also create new employment opportunities for youth. This will also strengthen the goal of making Punjab an agri-food hub.

According to government data, since the Mann government came to power, a total investment of over ₹1.25 lakh crore has come into Punjab, providing direct employment to approximately 4.5 lakh youth. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has consistently reiterated that Punjab has hardworking youth, good connectivity, and now a "business-friendly government." The decision by a global investor like Danone-Nutricia demonstrates that Punjab has now become a reliable and attractive destination for investment. This achievement will prove crucial in rapidly propelling the state forward on the path of economic development.

More than 5,000 dairy farmers will be trained and introduced to modern methods of quality milk production, animal care, and feed management. This will increase farmers' income and improve milk quality. Danone-Nutricia is already present in Lalru, Punjab. This investment will enable Punjab to develop a production unit equipped with modern technology and increase the production of nutrition products.

This investment demonstrates that Punjab will now be recognized not only for agriculture but also as an agri-food innovation hub. This will encourage foreign investment in the state and enable Punjab to establish a strong presence globally. This ₹356 crore investment by Danone-Nutricia is a result of the Mann government's transparent policies, the hard work of farmers, and Punjab's progressive spirit. This initiative will not only accelerate agricultural economic development but also help establish Punjab as a global investment destination. All this has been made possible by the Mann government's vision and hard work, which has attracted major global companies to Punjab.

The Mann government's efforts are improving the investment climate in Punjab. They have assured investors that working in Punjab is now easy, safe, and profitable. This investment demonstrates Punjab's improving image abroad. This ₹356 crore initiative by Danone-Nutricia strengthens Punjab's old glory and new hope.
