Phillaur said four new modern jails would come up in Amritsar, Bathinda, Muktsar and Ferozepur.
The minister said the jails would have a capacity of 3,000 inmates each and land for three projects had already been acquired.
He said to rescue Punjab from the vicious wheat-paddy cycle, the state had been assured help from the Central Government for the promotion of dairy farming, animal husbandry as well as fisheries in the state.
The issue will also be discussed during Union Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar's upcoming meeting with senior agricultural officials at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, on November 20, he added.
