Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, accompanied by his wife Smt. Suman Saini, today offered prayers at the Mata Mansa Devi Temple in Panchkula on the occasion of the New Year. He also interacted with the devotees present at the temple.
Speaking to media persons on this occasion, the Chief Minister extended New Year greetings to the people of the state, expressing his hope that the year would bring economic and social prosperity to all citizens. He said that prosperity would touch every individual’s life, and wished for the fulfillment of this aspiration.
The Chief Minister further stated that in 2025, Haryana will reach new heights of development. Reflecting on the progress made in 2024, he mentioned that significant work has been done to advance the state in various sectors. In line with the vision of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi’s Developed India-2047, he assured that work will proceed rapidly in the coming year to make India a developed nation. Following this vision, development efforts in Haryana will also accelerate, with the goal of making the state fully developed. The government is committed to this objective.
Promises of the Sankalp Patra are being fulfilled continuously
The Chief Minister said that the BJP government has made several commitments in its Sankalp Patra during the elections, and work is being done gradually to fulfill them. He added that significant progress has already been made in implementing many of these promises, and the remaining ones will also be completed soon.
Sh Nayab Singh Saini mentioned that upon forming the government, the first step was to provide jobs to 24,000 youth without kharchi-parchi. In addition, the government has introduced free dialysis facilities in all civil hospitals and medical colleges, benefiting lakhs of kidney patients across the state. He also highlighted the government’s initiative in granting ownership rights to tenant farmers in Haryana.
Addressing the issue of farmers, Sh Nayab Singh Saini informed that the Supreme Court has set up a committee to engage with the farmers, and this committee is in constant communication with them. He assured that the Haryana government is purchasing all crops from the state’s farmers at the Minimum Support Price (MSP). A resolution has been passed in the Vidhan Sabha to ensure the procurement of all crops at MSP.
The Chief Minister said that the government is working diligently under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi. However, he pointed out that many political parties have exploited the issue of farmers for political gain without making any real decisions in their favour. He specifically mentioned the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress Party governments in states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka, accusing them of grinding their own axe in the name of farmers rather than ensuring their welfare.
Regarding the recent rains and hailstorms, the Chief Minister said that it has been decided to get the farmers registered on the kshatipurti portal immediately so that proper compensation for the loss suffered by the farmers can be given on time. He added that over the past decade, the government has directly deposited Rs 13500 crores in farmers’ accounts as compensation for various losses.
The Chief Minister said that the current government always stands by the farmers. He also shared plans to introduce new schemes aimed at promoting crop diversification. These initiatives will help farmers benefit more from natural farming practices, at a lower cost. Moreover, the government is working on providing incentives for the cultivation of crops other than paddy to alleviate water pressure and promote sustainable agriculture.
