Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has directed officials to make all cooperative sugar mills in the state profitable within the next year, calling for a major overhaul of their operations, media reports say.
Chairing a review meeting of the Cooperation Department’s five-year roadmap under Haryana Vision-2047 at the Haryana Civil Secretariat, Saini instructed senior officers to conduct detailed assessments of each mill and identify deficiencies affecting performance.
Stressing the close connection between farmers’ welfare and cooperative sugar mills, he said these institutions must become financially viable.
The Chief Minister also questioned why cooperative mills continue to suffer losses while private mills in Haryana remain profitable. The state government extended financial assistance of Rs 632 crore to sugar mills this year.
