Talking about mounting Revenue expenditure, Singh said, Revenue expenditure in the State increased recently due to implementation of the 7th CPC recommendations. He suggested improving the composition of expenditure by giving emphasis on Capital expenditure instead of Revenue Expenditure – the State Government needs to pursue this strategy both, for improving beneficial multiplier effect and Long-term macro stability. “The State Government has credible plan to reduce Revenue deficit and fiscal deficit”, he asserted.

Hailing the State Government’s new initiatives, NK Singh said, “The initiatives to harness Private Capital in addition to public outlay are important steps and the step deserves our encouragement.”

“With proper utilization of the talents of the human resources, qualitative changes could be done. Bamboo, forest resources and diverse industrial potentiality could be harnessed properly. We would give a careful look to the state government’s demands, aspiration and vision,” he added.

Speaking on sectoral importance in details, Singh said, the State Government has a Human Resource Development plan and it is important to stress on harnessing Human Resources of the State for Long term benefits.
