Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
State governments set up separate corporations and boards under distinct legal mandates for industrial promotion: an infrastructure-development corporation acquires land and builds physical infrastructure inside notified industrial estates, while sister bodies instead handle electronics or IT promotion, urban town planning, or single-window facilitation support for small units.
Haryana's HSIIDC (Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation), incorporated in 1967 as the state government's nodal industrial-infrastructure agency, acquires land and builds physical infrastructure - internal roads, power distribution, water supply and drainage - inside notified industrial estates, IT parks and model economic townships across Haryana. This is exactly the mandate the question describes.
Institute | Actual mandate |
|---|---|
HARTRON | Haryana State Electronics Development Corporation - promotes electronics manufacturing, IT and e-governance projects. |
HUDA | Haryana Urban Development Authority (now HSVP) - plans and develops residential, commercial and institutional sectors in towns under urban town-planning law. |
HSIIDC | Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation - acquires land and builds physical infrastructure inside notified industrial estates. |
District Industries Centre | Provides single-window registration, credit-linkage and facilitation support to micro and small enterprises at the district level. |
Among these four bodies, only HSIIDC's mandate matches the infrastructure-development criterion in the stem - a match confirmed by the HTET 2022 official answer key.
