Haryana is emerging as a beacon of economic prosperity and social development, embodying the vision of ‘Viksit Haryana for Viksit Bharat’
Haryana embodies courage and strength. Modi, who has savoured Haryana’s spirit, has led with vigour for ten years. Seeing Rafale jets soar in Ambala skies today is a proud moment for all of us, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently said at the major rallies in Ambala and Sonipat, highlighting the opposition’s deceitful intentions and reaffirming the BJP’s dedication to Haryana’s development. In his second mega rally in Sonipat, Modi shed light on the Congress party’s past misdeeds and their desperate attempts to regain power.
In another incident earlier this month, Haryana stood on the cusp of an emotional milestone. In a display of unprecedented support and enthusiasm, former Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar, led a mega rally at Ganaur, Sonipat, endorsing Lok Sabha candidate Mohan Lal Badoli. The event, attended by over 15,000 fervent supporters, marked a significant moment in Haryana’s political landscape. Manohar, renowned for his progressive policies and transformative governance, was warmly received by the crowd, underscoring the deep-rooted admiration and trust he commands among the populace. His rally served as a testament to the enduring popularity of Manohar’s leadership and the impactful strides taken by the ‘double engine Government’ in the State.
The Modi-Manohar effect has been instrumental in spearheading numerous initiatives aimed at propelling Haryana towards economic prosperity and social development. Under their stewardship, Haryana has emerged as a magnet for investments and a hub of opportunities, embodying the vision of ‘Viksit Haryana for Viksit Bharat’. The rally, infused with patriotic fervour and untiring support, emphasised the staunch resolve of Haryana’s electorate to chart a path towards progress and prosperity. As the political landscape evolves, Manohar’s rally stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of visionary leadership and the collective determination to realise a brighter future for Haryana and the nation at large.
From bolstering transparency in Government job recruitments to empowering the youth through the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam, the State has witnessed a paradigm shift under the astute leadership of Manohar Lal Khattar. The establishment of all-women police stations, initiatives like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and a surge in infrastructure projects underscore the Government’s untiring commitment to holistic development. Haryana’s rise as an investment destination is nothing short of spectacular, with exports soaring and MSMEs mushrooming across the State. In the textile and apparel sector, Haryana’s prowess shines through, with a significant contribution to India’s exports. With over 35 per cent of carpets and 20 per cent of garments manufactured in the State, Haryana is cementing its position as a textile powerhouse. The strategic alignment with national initiatives like the PM Gati Shakti Yojana and the establishment of industrial parks exemplify Haryana’s proactive approach towards economic prosperity. The State’s healthcare infrastructure has received a significant boost, with the establishment of medical universities and skill development centres catering to the evolving needs of the populace.
The number of medical colleges has surged from 6 in 2014 to 15 and the number of MBBS seats has increased from 700 to 2185. Moreover, the number of PG seats in medical colleges has grown from 289 to 1006.
The State has further enhanced nutritional outcomes for children, adolescents, pregnant women and lactating mothers through the POSHAN Abhiyan.
In agriculture, schemes like PM-KISAN and PM Fasal Bima Yojana have provided a safety net for farmers, ensuring their livelihood security. Today, PM-KISAN has benefited over 20 lakh farmers in the State with assistance of over Rs. 5,000 crore. Haryana plays a pivotal role in India’s journey towards becoming a global nutrition hub. There are ambitious plans that include promoting the State’s coarse grains like jowar and millet on the international stage, the implementation of the world’s largest warehouse project and the creation of specialised clusters over the next 5 years. Also, there are plans for a revolutionary drone initiative in farming, empowering mothers and sisters with drone pilot training to harness the latest technology in agriculture.
Cultural preservation and promotion have been integral to Haryana’s development narrative, with initiatives like the PM Vishwakarma Yojana fostering artisanal traditions and ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ fostering cultural exchange. The State’s rich heritage is being showcased through initiatives like the Anubhav Kendra Jyotisar and the development of archaeological sites like Rakhi Garhi.
The ‘double engine Government’ has proven instrumental in leveraging resources for comprehensive growth, be it in agriculture, infrastructure, or education. Prime Minister Modi emphasised, The dawn of a new era, led by visionary leadership and fueled by the aspirations of its people, promises a brighter tomorrow for the State and the nation at large.
