Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said whenever Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India), he always mentions Haryana. Haryana has played a significant role from the very beginning in every campaign. MSMEs are the backbone of the economy, and the government is continuously promoting them. Nearly 15 lakh youth in the state have gained employment through MSMEs. As a result, Haryana has also received the National Award for MSMEs.
The Chief Minister was speaking on Monday at a workshop organized under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan at Babain in the Ladwa Assembly constituency.
Nayab Singh Saini said with the campaigns of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Swadeshi launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country’s economy has reached the fourth position in the world. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the Central Government has launched several initiatives such as Make in India, Startup India and Skill India to make the nation self-reliant. By adopting these schemes, the country is becoming not only self-reliant but also self-sustaining.
He said the Prime Minister has set a vision for a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. To achieve this vision, it is first necessary to build a self-reliant India. He added that the purpose of such workshops is to connect as many people as possible. He called upon the workers to spread the government’s policies, rules, schemes, and campaigns to every citizen so that the general public may avail the benefits of these initiatives.
All arrangements in place for paddy procurement in mandis, farmers will face no difficulty in selling crops: CM Nayab Singh Saini
Whether in Sports or War, India Always Emerges Victorious: CM
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said India has consistently emerged victorious, whether through the achievements of its players on the sports field or the bravery of its soldiers on the battlefield. In the recently held Asia Cup, Indian players defeated Pakistan and secured a grand victory.
The Chief Minister was interacting with journalists on Monday at Babain tehsil of Ladwa Assembly constituency.
Responding to a question, the Chief Minister said the state government is fully ensuring that farmers do not face any difficulty in the mandis. Robust arrangements have been made for paddy procurement in the mandis. He said that in today’s time, most work is done with machines. Earlier, during manual harvesting, crops used to remain in the fields for many days, which helped keep the moisture content under control. But now, with machine harvesting, the crop reaches the mandi immediately. He appealed to farmers to cooperate in ensuring that the moisture content in the crop does not exceed 17 percent before paddy procurement.
The Chief Minister said all facilities from gate pass to crop registration are being provided online. Not only this, officers have also been instructed to ensure prompt payment to farmers after the procurement of crops.
Nayab Singh Saini said that on October 3, Union Home Minister Sh. Amit Shah will visit the state. He will first attend the programme of the Cooperation Department and later participate in the exhibition to be organized in Kurukshetra on the achievements of the new criminal laws.
On this occasion, Ambala Commissioner Sh. Sanjeev Verma, Deputy Commissioner Sh. Vishram Kumar Meena, along with other dignitaries were present.

ECI to deploy Central Observers (General, Police & Expenditure) in Bihar and bye-elections in certain states
ECI decides to deploy 470 Officers
Haryana Chief Electoral Officer, A. Sreenivas said that the Election Commission of India (ECI) has decided to deploy 470 Officers (320 IAS, 60 from IPS and 90 from IRS/IRAS/ICAS etc.) serving in various States as Central Observers (General, Police and Expenditure) for the forthcoming general election to the legislative assembly of Bihar and bye-elections in Jammu & Kashmir (ACBudgam & Nagrota), Rajasthan (AC- Anta), Jharkhand (AC-Ghatsila), Telangana (AС – Jubilee Hills), Punjab (AC – Tarn Taran), Mizoram (AC – Dampa) and Odisha (AC – Nuapada). ECI deploys Central Observers under the plenary powers conferred on it by Article 324 of the Constitution and the powers conferred on it by Section 20B of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 to watch the conduct of elections in a constituency.
He said that the Observers work under the superintendence, control, and discipline of the Commission for the period from their appointment until the process of election is completed. The Observers are entrusted with the crucial and solemn responsibility to ensure the fairness, impartiality and credibility of elections, which ultimately forms the bedrock of our democratic polity. They act as eyes and ears of the Commission and keep reporting to the Commission periodically and on a need basis.
Observers not only help the Commission in fulfilling its constitutional mandate of conducting free, fair, transparent and inclusive elections but also contribute towards enhancing voter awareness and participation in elections. The main objective of the Observers is to identify areas for improvements and to formulate concrete and operative recommendations., he added.
He further said that because of their seniority and long experience in the administrative services, General and Police Observers assist the Commission in the conduct of free and fair polls. They also oversee the efficient and effective management of the electoral process at the field level. Expenditure Observers are appointed to observe the election expenses incurred by the Candidates.
RTS Commission Orders HSVP to Grant Compensation and Refund of Interest to Complainant
The Haryana Right to Service Commission has taken a strict view of the negligence of Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), warning the concerned officials and directing that the complainant be paid compensation of Rs 5,000.
A Commission spokesperson stated that mishandling of the case on the Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) and repeated disregard of the complainant’s representations raise serious questions on the grievance redressal mechanism of HSVP. The Commission issued warnings to the concerned DEO for wrongly rejecting the case and to the EO for ignoring the complainant. It further cautioned that any such lapse in notified services in the future would invite punitive action.
The spokesperson informed that the case pertained to verification of an allottee’s payment. Despite payment being made in 2019, the verification was not completed, forcing the complainant to struggle for six years. The Commission, in its order dated June 18, 2025, had already observed that HSVP had abolished the practice of demanding original receipts after June 2017 and had switched to reliance on online records.
The Commission remarked that keeping such a simple verification pending for six years and completing it only after the Commission’s intervention reflected deep administrative apathy. Commenting on the matter, the Commission noted: “Even ISRO took less time to reach the Moon, 3.8 lakh kilometres away, but HSVP took six years to complete such a basic process.” Due to this negligence, the complainant could neither receive the possession offer nor get his property registered (conveyance deed).
Under the Haryana Right to Service Act, 2014, the Commission has directed that the complainant be paid compensation of Rs 5,000. HSVP will release this amount from its funds and may recover it later from the responsible officials after inquiry.
In addition, the complainant had informed the Commission on August 28, 2025, that HSVP had levied delayed interest on an instalment, despite payment being made on time. Taking cognizance, the Commission has directed the EO, Faridabad, to refund the wrongly charged interest on the said instalment and submit a compliance report to the Commission by October 3, 2025.
