According to Singh, the Haryana government has grand plans to improve Gurgaon's healthcare, hospitality, IT and entertainment sectors to make the city the "lifestyle destination" of the country. "Gurgaon can be developed as the lifestyle destination of India. This is what all stakeholders, including industry leaders and the public, should yearn for. We, as the government, are working towards it," he added.

To provide all kind of facilities related to investment at a single place in the state, Singh said the government implemented "One Roof System", where all facilities related to registration of industrial units would be available at district headquarters and officers of departments concerned would complete all formalities for registration.
