Kurukshetra/Ladwa/Pehowa: Haryana chief minister (CM) Nayab Singh Saini asserted on Wednesday that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has emerged as a 'bright spot' on the global economic map.
He credited the Centre's pro-welfare policies for accelerating national development and ensuring direct benefits to citizens across every section of society.
At Shri Sangameshwar Mahadev Temple in Arunai village, CM Saini offered prayers for the well-being and prosperity of Haryana's residents. The CM performed jalabhishek (offered holy water), met with saints, and planted saplings in the temple premises.
'This sacred month of Sawan is a time of reflection and renewal. I prayed for the health and growth of our people,' he told journalists.
Highlighting national achievements, Saini stated, 'India's economy has risen from 11th to 4th position globally within a decade. Prime Minister Modi has done what he promised—and more.' The CM also praised successful anti-terror operations such as Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev, dismissing opposition efforts to disrupt Parliament as politically motivated.

Welfare Schemes: Housing, Health, and Solar Power
At gratitude programmes in villages under Ladwa Assembly—Bir Kalwa, Dhanani, Deeg, Dangali—Saini unveiled new development projects. He announced the allocation of Rs 21 lakh per village for infrastructure works and laid the foundation stone for a Rs 6.38 crore Primary Health Centre in Deeg.
Addressing rural welfare, he declared that 1 lakh underprivileged families would receive 100-square-yard plots in the first phase of a new housing initiative, with documentation handed over on the spot.
Additionally, government hospitals in 10 districts will, from August 15, begin offering treatment on par with private hospitals at subsidized rates.
Key announcements included:
Rs 55.41 lakh for clean drinking water pipelines in Dangali village
Rs 52.64 lakh for similar pipelines in Bir Kalwa village
Rs 27.15 lakh for Dhanani village
Upcoming oil mills in Shahabad (sunflower) and Rewari (mustard) to ensure better returns to farmers
Elimination of abiana (British-era irrigation tax) and waiver of Rs 133 crore in dues
Ownership rights to tenants living on panchayat land for over 20 years
The CM emphasized that 42 out of 90 electoral promises had been fulfilled at triple the expected pace, with work progressing on the rest. Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, 18 lakh families in Haryana are receiving gas cylinders for Rs 500 and free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh; elderly citizens over 70 are covered for up to Rs 10 lakh.
Employment Drive: Transparent, Merit-Based Recruitment
CM Saini promised a major recruitment drive in the state police department, urging youth to prepare earnestly. 'Gone are the days of jobs in exchange for votes or favoritism,' he said, targeting the Congress party's '50 votes for a job' claim.
He highlighted the success of CET Group C exams, where 13.5 lakh applicants took part, with over 90% participation—a record made possible by transparent, merit-based hiring.
Saini accused the opposition of stalling employment results before elections but affirmed that his government delivered on its promise to release pending results.
'In July alone, we declared results for over 7,500 government jobs. Even children from economically weaker families are becoming ACSs and DSPs now,' he added, noting that 58 young Haryanvis are on their way to becoming IAS officers under PM Modi's leadership.
Tech and Values in Education: Smart TV Project Launched
Later in the evening in Ladwa, CM Saini inaugurated the Smart TV Education Project under the Sampark Foundation initiative. Five government schools received Smart TVs during the event, and a state-wide rollout was announced. 'To build a developed India, our children must receive both digital education and strong moral values,' said Saini.
The program includes:
5 lakh tablets for Classes 10–12
40,000 digital boards
1,201 ICT labs
Digital content aligned with textbooks
Assessment tools modeled after 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'
A total of 7,000 schools have received Smart TV boxes, while 1,485 schools have been converted into smart classrooms.
'Education today is not just about textbooks—it's about shaping the future through innovation,' said Sampark Foundation founder Vineet Nayar. Over 30,000 teachers have already been trained, and smart classrooms are being developed in 8,600 schools across all 22 districts of Haryana.
Solar Push: Free Electricity for the Poor
In his final stop, CM Saini addressed villagers in Gudi, Bakali, Jogi Majra, and Nivarsi, emphasizing green energy. Under the Centre's Free Solar Power Scheme, families earning less than Rs 1.80 lakh annually will receive 2kW solar panels.
'Once installed, their electricity bill will become zero,' he said. So far, 26,000 households have benefited from this scheme, with a target of covering 1 lakh homes this year.
New projects announced:
Rs 23.04 lakh for Gudi's water supply pipeline
Rs 70.44 lakh for Bakali
Rs 22 lakh for Jogi Majra
Inauguration of a Rs 2.73 crore sports stadium in Dhanaura Jatan
CM Saini concluded with a reaffirmation: 'Our government stands with the last person in the queue. Every policy, every scheme, is aimed at empowering the poor, uplifting farmers, and creating a future our children can be proud of.'
