Chandigarh: Participating in a meeting of the NITI Aayog's governing council, Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday announced the state's goal to achieve a US $1 trillion economy and create 50 lakh new jobs by 2047.
PM Narendra Modi chaired the meeting in New Delhi.
During the meeting, Saini presented Haryana's Vision Document-2047, highlighting the state's active contribution to achieving the national goal of 'Developed India @2047'.
Saini also said the state will create new opportunities for youth by harnessing AI.
The CM said the PM's vision, policies, and decisions consistently served the national interest. The vision of a developed India encompasses self-reliance, prosperity, empowerment, capability, inclusiveness, and technological advancement.
He urged the PM that once it is finalised, the Haryana Vision-2047 be integrated into the national-level Developed India Dashboard. Saini said special emphasis has been placed on six key areas to contribute towards building a developed India. These priorities have also been incorporated into the state budget for the present financial year.
To prepare Haryana for future, he said, a new entity called the department of future has been established.
This department will explore development opportunities through cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and robotics. Acting as a nodal agency, the department of future will spearhead long-term strategic initiatives, technological foresight, and integrated policymaking to realise a trillion-dollar economy and promote inclusive development, aligned with Haryana's Vision 2047, he said.
Saini said Haryana is establishing 'Haryana AI Mission' to advance AI initiatives. The state govt has encouraged private investors to create a Fund of Funds worth Rs 2,000 crore, aimed at positioning Haryana as a major hub for innovation and entrepreneurship through strategic investments in startups.
The CM added technical barriers are a significant challenge to rapid economic development, and the shelf life of skills was decreasing.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to modernise the skill ecosystem. To address this, he proposed the development of an integrated skill hub to better equip the workforce for future demands.
'Achiever state'
Sharing updates on Haryana's progress, the Chief Minister said that under the PM Gati Shakti initiative, Haryana consistently retained the 'achiever' category among landlocked states in the LEADS survey for three consecutive years—2022, 2023, and 2024.
He highlighted that all projects costing over Rs 100 crore are now required to align with the National Master Plan of PM Gati Shakti.
Action against criminalisation
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini added that efforts were underway to eliminate criminalisation in 230 laws of 37 departments, and the 'Jan Vishwas Bill' is being drafted. He assured that Haryana will align its efforts with the central govt's vision of building a developed India by 2047 and will strive to contribute maximally to this national goal.

"Pakistan saw its doomsday" on night of May 6 during Operation Sindoor: PM Modi
Reasi (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], June 6 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that Pakistan 'saw its doomsday' on the night of May 6 during Operation Sindoor, a deep strike mission that he said left the Pakistan Army and terrorists stunned. Addressing a public gathering in J-K's Reasi, PM Modi said, 'Remember, exactly one month ago, on the night of May 6, Pakistan saw its doomsday. Now, whenever Pakistan hears the name of Operation Sindoor, it will remember its shameful defeat. The Pakistani Army and terrorists had never thought that India would attack terrorists hundreds of kilometres inside Pakistan in such a way...' He said Operation Sindoor demonstrated the strength of Aatmnirbhar Bharat and praised the armed forces for their trust in 'Make in India.' 'You have seen how Operation Sindoor has shown the power of Aatmnirbhar Bharat. Today, the world is discussing India's defence ecosystem. There is only one reason behind this. Our army's trust in Make in India. Every Indian has to repeat what the army has done...' he said. He also urged the youth of Jammu and Kashmir to actively participate in Mission Manufacturing, announced in this year's budget. 'I want to ask the youth of Jammu and Kashmir to join this mission... Your ideas and skills will take India's economy and security to new heights,' he said. The Prime Minister also announced financial assistance for families affected by border shelling. He said houses fully damaged by cross-border shelling would receive Rs 2 lakh, while partially damaged houses would be given Rs 1 lakh. 'The suffering of more than 2000 families affected by shelling is also our own suffering... Now, those houses which have suffered heavy damage will be given Rs 2 lakh, and those partially damaged will receive Rs 1 lakh more,' he said. He also highlighted security and infrastructure in the border areas, saying that two border battalions have been formed for the Jammu and Kashmir division, the work for forming two women battalions has also been completed, and more than Rs 4,2000 crore is being spent to improve infrastructure along the international border. 'New infrastructure worth hundreds of crores is being developed in the conflict-prone areas near our international border,' the PM said. PM Modi also made a strong pitch for promoting indigenous products as an act of patriotism. 'We have to take another resolution: we have to prioritise goods made in India, created by the sweat of our countrymen. This is patriotism. This is service to the nation. We have to increase the honour of our Army on the border and increase the pride of Make in India in the marketplace,' he added. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated several key infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. These included the Chenab Railway Bridge, the world's highest railway arch bridge, and the Anji Bridge, India's first cable-stayed rail bridge.

SEBI attaches Mehul Choksi's bank accounts, shares, MFs to recover Rs 2.1 crore dues
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 6 (ANI): Financial markets regulator SEBI has asked banks and mutual funds to attach the bank accounts and shares and mutual fund holdings of fugitive Mehul Choksi to recover Rs 2.10 crore dues for violating insider trading rules linked to shares of Gitanjali Gems. The dues of Rs 2.1 crore include Rs 1.5 crore penalty, Rs 60 lakh as interest (February 2022 to May 2025 at 1 per cent per month) and Rs 1,000 as recovery cost. On May 15, 2025, SEBI sent Mehul Choksi a notice asking him to pay the dues in 15 days. Failure to do so may result in freezing his assets, SEBI mentioned. 'Whereas no amount has been paid by the Defaulter and there is sufficient reason to believe that the Defaulter may dispose of the amounts/proceeds in the Bank Accounts held with your Bank and realization of amount due under the Recovery Certificate would in consequence be delayed or obstructed,' SEBI wrote in its letter to the banks. A similar letter has also been written to mutual funds in India, asking them to attach his demat accounts and mutual fund holdings. SEBI also asked banks to ensure no debit is made from the defaulter's accounts, if any. Banks have also been asked to furnish details of the accounts, including lockers held by the defaulter and a bank statement for the latest year. Similarly, depositories and mutual funds have been directed to immediately provide details of accounts/folios held by the defaulter, a copy of account statements, and confirmation of attachment of the said accounts/folios. Mehul Choksi is a fugitive Indian businessman who is a key accused in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam. His nephew, Nirav Modi, is also wanted by the probe agencies in the scam. The duo are alleged to have defrauded the bank of more than Rs 14,000 crore. PNB unearthed the scam on January 25, 2018, and submitted a fraud report to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on January 29. Subsequently, an arrest warrant was issued against Choksi. He is wanted in India for criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating and dishonesty, including delivery of property, corruption, and money laundering. Choksi fled the country in January 2018 to Antigua and Barbuda. A court in Belgium had, in April this year, denied Choksi's bail plea. He was arrested in Belgium in April following an official request from Indian authorities. (ANI)

PNB cuts lending rate to 50 basis point in line with RBI's policy
Hours after RBI's jumbo rate cut, state-owned Punjab National Bank (PNB) on Friday announced up to 50 basis points reduction in lending rate, a move which will help existing and new borrowers. Other banks are also expected to make similar announcements soon. "Great News for Our Valued Customers! Punjab National Bank Makes Your EMIs More Affordable! Following the repo rate cut (6.00% - 5.50%), Punjab National Bank has reduced its RLLR by 50 bps, effective from June 9, 2025," PNB said in a post on X. With the reduction in the benchmark repo-linked benchmark lending rates (RBLR), the home loan of the bank will start from 7.45 per cent while vehicle loans from 7.8 per cent per annum. Earlier in the day, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut interest rates by a larger-than-expected 50 basis points, and unexpectedly reduced the cash reserve ratio for banks to make available more money to lend in a bid to boost the economy. The RBI's six-member monetary policy committee, headed by Governor Sanjay Malhotra and consisting of three external members, voted five to one to lower the benchmark repurchase or repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5 per cent. It also cut the cash reserve ratio by 100 basis points to 3 per cent, adding Rs 2.5 lakh crore to already surplus liquidity in the banking system. With the latest reduction, the RBI has now cut interest rates by a total of 100 basis points in 2025, starting with a quarter-point reduction in February -- the first cut since May 2020 -- and another similar-sized cut in April. The central bank, at the same time, changed its monetary policy stance from 'accommodative' to 'neutral', meaning rates could increase or decrease in future depending on incoming data, with Malhotra stating that it may have limited space for further easing.
