Punjab, known for its rich farmland and strong farming roots, is now moving towards a new phase of growth under Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann. This change is not just about setting up industries it shows the return of Punjab’s true spirit, the courage to stay strong and positive in every situation. The Mann government is working to turn Punjab from an agriculture-based state into a modern and balanced economy with growth in many sectors.

These numbers are not just statistics; they symbolize the hopes of thousands of families who will gain food, homes, and livelihoods.
