Haryana Government will provide employment opportunities to Agniveers on a priority basis after their service, said the Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini while addressing a gathering after flagging off Rewari Half Marathon from Rao Tularam Stadium in Rewari.

“Rewari district is the land of heroes, and our brave soldiers are standing bravely on the borders of the country,” said Saini, while assuring that the agniveers will get priority in employment after their service.

Saini said that marathons and Raahgiri programs are not only inspirational for social harmony but also for health improvement. Under the Haryana Uday Outreach Program, run by the State Government, such events are continuously being organized. The half marathon in Rewari, themed ‘A Run For The Nation,’ is dedicated to the glorious and inspiring life of great freedom fighter Rao Tularam and other valiant martyrs.

The Chief Minister said that unlike the old “Parchi-Karchi tradition”, merit-based recruitments are being done in Haryana. He emphasized that the Haryana Government will continue to recruit for government jobs transparently based on merit, and urged the youth to focus only on their hard work, dedication, and preparation.

“Due to transparent policies of the Haryana Government, the benefits are reaching the last person in society. Haryana Government is playing an active role in providing an empowering path to the youth and is contributing to the construction of a strong Haryana by providing a better educational environment,” he said.

The Chief Minister said that due to Haryana’s sports policy, the athletes from Haryana have made the nation and the state proud at the Paris Olympics. Under Prime Minister Modi’s Fit India campaign, Haryana is guiding the youth towards positive energy, raising the nation’s prestige on the world stage. Under the Fit India Movement, the youth are staying away from drugs and focusing on health. He said that along with good health, Haryana will continue to progress towards development.
