CM: Haryana with India in realising vision of developed nation by 2047
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Haryana would walk hand-in-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder with the country in realising the vision of a developed India by 2047 and would also hold a proud place on the map of developed India.
In a programme “Viksit Bharat-Viksit Haryana” held in Yamunanagar today and attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said Haryana was fully committed to contributing to the vision of a “Viksit Bharat”.
Union Minister for Housing, Urban Affairs and Power Manohar Lal Khattar, Union Minister of State for Statistics and Programme Implementation Rao Inderjit Singh, Union Minister of State for Cooperation Krishan Pal, Haryana Cabinet Ministers Anil Vij, Krishan Lal Panwar and Shyam Singh Rana were also present on the occasion.
On behalf of the people of the state, Nayab Singh Saini welcomed the Prime Minister to the holy city of Yamunanagar, nestled in the lap of Maa Saraswati.
Paying tribute to Bharat Ratna Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar on his 135th birth anniversary, he said this was a very auspicious and significant day for all residents of Haryana.
The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for an 800 MW ultra-supercritical unit at Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant today. Besides, he also laid the foundation stone for a Compressed Biogas Plant here.
Saini said today marked another proud chapter for Haryana as Prime Minister Narendra Modi had once again presented new gifts of development to the people of the state, bringing the “Viksit Bharat- Viksit Haryana” vision closer to reality.
He further shared that the soil of Yamunanagar provided employment to lakhs through its timber and other small-scale industries.
The Chief Minister said under the guidance and inspiration of the Prime Minister, Haryana had achieved remarkable growth in every field over the past 10 years.
He said there was now no district in Haryana without a national highway passing through it, nor was there any city, village, lane or town lacking connectivity to the district headquarters.
Chief Minister Saini said Prime Minister Narendra Modi transformed the energy sector from a political agenda into a “national policy”.
“Today, Haryana has witnessed revolutionary changes in the power sector. Over the past 10 years, the losses of Haryana’s power DISCOMs have reduced from 30 per cent to just 10.4 per cent, achieved through the UDAY scheme,” the Chief Minister said.
He said in the national rankings for 2023–24, the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam secured first place, while the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam secured second place across the country — a historic achievement for the state.
