Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday said that all initiatives outlined in the 2025-26 Budget must be identified, planned, and executed within the set timeframe. “The goal is to ensure that 100 percent of these projects are implemented on the ground within the next three to six months so that the people can be given the benefits of those schemes within the stipulated time frame,” he added.

The Chief Minister, speaking during a meeting with Administrative Secretaries regarding the outline of the budget proposals for the year 2025-26 department wise, directed senior officers to ensure that meeting minutes are prepared on time and submitted to the Chief Minister’s office. Saini directed that within the next six months, all district civil hospitals must be fully equipped with essential medical facilities. This will ensure that patients do not have to seek treatment elsewhere.

He also said that the Ayushman scheme needs to be advanced, so people can receive treatment within government hospitals instead of going to private hospitals. To achieve this, advanced medical equipment, diagnostic tests, and other necessary healthcare services must be provided on time. He also directed the formation of a dedicated cell for this purpose.

The Chief Minister further directed that if any equipment in civil hospitals, CHCs or PHCs is damaged, it should be repaired immediately. The responsibility for ensuring timely repairs will be assigned to the respective in-charge. Besides this, he said the need to enhance the Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaign.
