The Chief Minister was speaking as the chief guest at a programme organized by All India Saini Seva Samaj on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule in Gurugram today.

While congratulating and wishing the people on Vaisakhi, the Chief Minister said today is also the birth anniversary of the great social reformer, thinker, writer and philosopher Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. He also paid tribute to the citizens who were martyred when the British army opened fire on the orders of General Dyer at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.

Mahatma Jyotiba Phule dedicated his life to social reforms

Paying tribute to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, the Chief Minister said Mahatma Jyotiba Phule ji worked to awaken the country and society at a time when India was in the shackles of slavery. He devoted his entire life to stop child marriage, supporting widow remarriage, giving women the right to education, eliminating untouchability and empowering the society. He raised his voice for the education of girls, widow remarriage and Dalit upliftment, that too in times when it was difficult to even think about these things. He used to say that “Only education can uplift a person and a society.”

The Chief Minister said Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, along with his wife Savitribai Phule, opened India’s first girls’ school in Pune. His wife was also a great social reformer and India’s first female teacher. She dedicated her life for women’s education, empowerment and their rights. The Chief Minister also praised the All India Saini Seva Samaj for organizing the National Awakening Maha Sammelan on Mahatma Phule’s birth anniversary.

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said Mahatma Phule’s ideals give us a direction in accordance of which Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has given the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’.

He said the history of Saini society is ancient and glorious. It has always considered labour, sacrifice and service as its religion. The contribution of this society in agriculture, horticulture and public service has been incomparable. Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, the pioneer of social revolution and Savitri Bai Phule, the first female teacher of India, are gems of Saini society.

Welfare and upliftment of the poor our resolve

The Chief Minister said the welfare and upliftment of the poor was, is and will remain our resolve. Therefore, our basis of development is the empowerment of the poor. The focus on last mile delivery has changed the lives of these classes. This resolve to serve the deprived is true social justice.

He said the state government has increased the income limit of creamy layer for Backward Classes from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 8 lakh annually and has given reservation to Backward Class-B in Panchayati Raj institutions and urban local bodies.

He said it is very difficult for the poor to bear the expenses of children’s education. Therefore, loans up to Rs 15 lakh for studies in the country and up to Rs 20 lakh for studies abroad are given to children of Backward Class families with annual income up to Rs 3 lakh at 4 percent annual interest.

He described the state government as farmer friendly and said Haryana is the first state in the country where it has decided to buy 100 percent of the crops of farmers at MSP. Under the ‘Har-Ghar Grihini Yojana’ of the state government, gas cylinders are being given to 17 lakh poor families every month for only Rs 500.

The Chief Minister appealed to the people to educate their children and said that this would be a true tribute to Mahatma Jyotiba Phule.

On this occasion, many dignitaries, including MLA Sh. Mukesh Sharma, Smt. Bimla Chaudhary, Smt. Usha Maurya, President of All India Saini Seva Samaj Sh. Dilbag Singh Saini were present.

Chandigarh, April 13 – Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, while addressing the 12th Annual Conference of All India Surgeons’ Association in Gurugram today, said innovation in medical field and use of modern techniques will be helpful in providing health facilities to all sections. He said this conference is not only a platform to promote innovation in the field of surgery but will also prove to be a guide in making Haryana’s healthcare system more robust.

Addressing doctors, the Chief Minister said doctors are often called “God on Earth” and this title is completely correct considering their tireless efforts and dedication. Be it an epidemic, an emergency or everyday diseases – doctors stand firm in every situation, working day and night to save lives. He said doctors not only treat the body, but many times also give emotional support to the patients with their words and behaviour. It is their experience, empathy and humanity that makes them special. In today’s time when challenges are increasing in every field, doctors are engaged in serving the people while remaining steadfast on their ethical values.

The Chief Minister said the Indian medical tradition is the gift of personalities like Dhanvantri, Charak and Sushrut and today’s modern surgeons are carrying forward the same tradition. He said at present, medical science is progressing rapidly and technologies like robotic surgery, laparoscopic technology, 3-D printing and artificial intelligence have brought a revolution in the field of surgery.

He said the Haryana Government is constantly striving to adopt these state-of-the-art technologies. He said, “Our aim is that every citizen living not only in urban areas but also in rural areas can get the benefit of these medical facilities.” He also reiterated his commitment to reduce the cost of surgery and make the facilities available to every section.

He said Haryana has joined the leading states of the country in the field of health indicators. Maternal and infant mortality rates have declined, and work is being done rapidly to establish medical colleges in every district. Special schemes like Ayushman Bharat and Charak Yojana have benefited lakhs of citizens.

The Chief Minister described all the surgeons, experts and students participating in the conference as ‘invaluable treasures of the country and Haryana’ and appreciated their contribution and also congratulated the organizing committee for this successful event. The Chief Minister urged everyone to come together and build such a Haryana where every person gets the best health services, lives a life free from fear of disease and every citizen remains healthy and happy.

During the programme, Gurugram MLA Sh. Mukesh Sharma said doctors are the true heroes of society. Your hard work, your dedication and your service spirit are really worthy of praise.

Pataudi MLA Bimla Chaudhary also attended the annual conference and appreciated the efforts of the medical community.

History created during the conference
