Chandigarh, July 7 –
Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh said that in the last 10 years or so, under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, the ‘Double-engine Sarkar’ in the state has established a system that works for the welfare of all sections of society and has taken the development of the state to new heights.
The developmental works carried out during the tenure of the present government has surpassed the works done during the 48 years of previous governments. The amount of development work done during this government’s tenure has never been done before, said Sh. Nayab Singh, while addressing the gathering at an event held in Panipat district today.

Haryana maintains an annual economic growth rate of 8 percent
Sh. Nayab Singh said that infrastructure is considered a measure of physical development for any nation or state. Strong infrastructure not only uplifts the standard of living of the people residing there but also attracts industries and investments, thereby strengthening the state’s economy. Haryana maintains an annual economic growth rate of 8 percent due to its strong infrastructure, compared to the national average of 6.7 percent.
Discrimination in Development and Welfare Schemes during previous Governments
The Haryana Chief Minister said that when the present government took on the responsibility of serving the state in 2014, we faced many challenges as the previous government had left a dilapidated economy, a collapsed cooperative structure, and public sector undertakings running at a loss. He said that the previous governments had always prioritised regionalism and nepotism in development and jobs.
During previous governments, there was significant discrimination in development and welfare schemes, with development focused only on one region, neglecting the rest of the state. However, under the guidance of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, following the philosophy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas, Sabka Vishwas’ and Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s philosophy of Antyodaya, the pace of development has been accelerated, changing the face of the state without any discrimination, said Sh. Nayab Singh.
Haryana Chief Minister said that the present state government has considered every individual in Haryana as their own and has worked to uplift every section, following the mantra of ‘Haryana Ek-Haryanvi Ek’. Equal development of every region is a priority for the government.
The Haryana Chief Minister also criticised the previous Congress government for failing to provide plots to the poor despite promises. The plots were shown, but no documents or possessions were given. Eligible people were left wandering. Understanding their plight, the current government has given possession of 100-square-yard plots to all eligible people. Where land was unavailable, provision has been made to provide an amount of Rs.1 lakh each in the accounts of eligible beneficiaries to buy plots.
He said that on June 30, the government had issued social security pensions to 75,000 new beneficiaries. On the same day, assistance was provided to 2,000 beneficiaries for house repairs under Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Awas Navinikaran Yojana. Additionally, under the Mukhyamantri Shehri Awas Yojana, the state government has also given 30-square-yard plots to around 15,000 families.
Target to install solar panels on the roofs of 1 lakh houses under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh stated that at the consecration ceremony of the holy temple of Suryavanshi Lord Rama in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024, Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi pledged to establish a solar rooftop system on the roof of every home. To achieve this, the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana has been started.
The Haryana Chief Minister further said that extending this scheme, the Haryana government has decided to provide solar systems for free on the roofs of 1 lakh houses of the poor by providing additional grants. In this scheme, an amount of Rs. 60,000 will be provided by the central government and Rs. 50,000 by the Haryana government. Additionally, the Haryana government has removed the minimum monthly charge for domestic electricity consumers. Now, the bill will be charged only for the units consumed, benefiting 9.50 lakh poor families in the state, he said.
He further said that the state government has given more powers to panchayats to expedite rural development. Now, sarpanches can carry out development works costing up to Rs.21 lakhs without a tender. The state government, with new thinking, new vision, and hard work, is giving a new direction and pace to Haryana’s development so that every section of society can be happy and Haryana can reach new heights of development, asserted Sh. Nayab Singh.

He said that the government is paying special attention to cleanliness in villages, and as per the Chief Minister’s directions, arrangements for cleaning drains are being ensured, said the Minister.
He said that to speed up development work, the government has decided that if work does not start within 10 days of tendering, the concerned agency will be blacklisted. The Chief Minister has given clear directions that corruption at any level will not be tolerated, and strict action will be taken if any such complaint is received, said Sh. Subhash Sudha.
