Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced the inclusion of Agroha in the Hisar Metropolitan Development Authority, which will now be known as the Hisar-Agroha Metropolitan Development Authority. This decision aims to accelerate development in Agroha.
The announcement was made during a program organised by the Akhil Bhartiya Agrawal Sammelan in Agroha, Hisar district. Saini highlighted the historical significance of Agroha, noting that Maharaja Agrasen made it his capital. To honour this, the new airport in Hisar will be named after Maharaja Agrasen, enhancing Haryana’s global identity.
Saini outlined various development initiatives by the Haryana government. Over the past decade, the state has set new records in development and created a favourable environment for industry and business.

Since then, 671,524 MSMEs have been set up, providing employment to 34 lakh people.
