On this occasion, the foundation stone will be laid and inauguration of many important projects will be held in Yamunanagar and Hisar which will be a significant stride toward the vision of a self-reliant India and a prosperous Haryana.

Grand start of 800 MW Thermal Power Plant in Yamunanagar

The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for 800 MW modern thermal power unit of Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited (HPGCL) in Yamunanagar. This third unit, spread across 233 acres, involves an investment of Rs 8,469 crore. Scheduled to be completed within 52 months, the project is expected to commence commercial operations by March 2029. Once operational, it will significantly boost Haryana’s energy self-sufficiency and ensure uninterrupted power supply for industries across the state.

Compressed Biogas Plant Yamunanagar

Driven by the Prime Minister’s visionary ‘Gobardhan Mission’, Haryana continues to make strides in cleanliness, sustainability, and energy self-reliance. In line with this mission, the foundation stone of a Compressed Biogas Plant will be laid in Mukarbpur, within the Yamunanagar-Jagadhari Municipal Corporation area. Developed in collaboration with BPCL at a cost of  Rs 90 crore, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 2,600 metric tonnes and is slated for completion by 2027. This initiative will help in effective organic waste management while contributing to clean energy production and environmental conservation.

Hisar Airport to Strengthen Regional Connectivity

The Prime Minister will also inaugurate air services from Maharaja Agrasen Airport, Hisar. In a moment of pride, he will flag off the first flight to Ayodhya. With scheduled flights from Hisar to Ayodhya (twice weekly), three flights in a week to Jammu, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Chandigarh, this development marks a significant leap in Haryana’s aviation connectivity. Additionally, the foundation stone for Phase II of the airport will be laid on the same day. This Rs 413 crore phase, targeted for completion by April 17, 2027, will include a state-of-the-art passenger terminal (37,790 sq. meters), a cargo terminal (2,235 sq. meters), and an ATC building, transforming Hisar into a major hub for trade and transport.

Rewari Bypass: Smoother Travel and Economic Boost

The successful implementation of Rewari Bypass project has been completed as an important link of concrete steps being taken by the state government to ensure the all-round development of the state and modern transport system. Spanning 14.4 km and built at a cost of Rs 1,069.42 crore under the Bharatmala Pariyojana via hybrid annuity mode, the bypass is now fully operational. It will decongest Rewari city, reduce Delhi–Narnaul travel time by one hour, and boost economic and social activity in the region. This is yet another milestone in the country’s rapidly evolving infrastructure under the Prime Minister’s visionary leadership.

Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi, we are moving progressively towards the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’.

Under the Ayushman Card Scheme, the needy people have been provided the facility of free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh. In Haryana also, under the Ayushman/Chirayu Card Scheme, about 20 lakh people have been given the benefit and an amount of Rs 2200 crore has been spent under the scheme.

Haryana Industry and Commerce, Environment, Forest and Wild Life Minister Rao Narbir Singh said that environmental pollution has become a serious problem not just for Gurugram but for the entire country. The government alone cannot control pollution; it needs the active participation of the public as well.

Rao Narbir was addressing dental experts and students from across India as the Chief Guest at the 27th PG Convention of the Indian Prosthodontic Society (IPS) held at the SGT University in Gurugram on Saturday. He congratulated the organising committee and all the participants, and encouraged students to make the most of the academic opportunities at the convention.

During his address, he appealed  to the youth and the general public to take two important pledges for environmental protection: first, stop using polythene; and second, avoid sending wedding cards as thousands of trees have to be cut to make such cards. He said that plastic bags take around 400 years to decompose. If burnt, they harm oxygen in the air; if dumped in the ground, they stay for centuries and block sewage systems. Further citing Prime Minister, Sh.Narendra Modi’s campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam,” the Minister said that everyone should plant at least one tree for themselves and one for future generations.

He appreciated SGT University for its efforts in environmental conservation. He also congratulated SGT University and dental experts from all over the country for the convention of Indian Prosthodontic Society (IPS).
