Following the mantra of “Sahkar se Smridhi,” CM is expected to further strengthen Haryana’s position among the leading states in India – Union Minister of Cooperation
Union Home and Cooperation Minister, Amit Shah who was in Panchkula on Wednesday to attend the Mega Cooperative Conference held in Panchkula lauded Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini for his decisive leadership and farmer-friendly policies, calling him a transformative force in the state’s governance.
Speaking at the event as the Chief Guest, Amit Shah highlighted how the Chief Minister’s initiatives have not only empowered farmers but also set Haryana as a national model for transparent, efficient, and visionary administration. He also praised Sh. Nayab Singh Saini’s courage and determination, noting that he has accomplished what very few governments dare attempt. When the proposal to procure 24 crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP) was announced in the election manifesto, I had personally confirmed it over a late-night phone call from Sh. Nayab Singh Saini and with full confidence, he assured me that I should announce it; the responsibility of procurement is mine, said the Home Minister as he praised that Haryana is the first state in India to ensure MSP procurement for all 24 crops.
The Home Minister further emphasized that Haryana is not only procuring crops but also paying farmers within 48 hours of procurement, marking a new administrative revolution. The Chief Minister has also ensured the highest prices for sugarcane farmers in the country, creating positive pressure on governments nationwide to follow suit, said the Home Minister.
Amit Shah also highlighted Haryana’s water management and irrigation initiatives. Under the “Per Drop – More Crop” scheme, the state provides 85 percent subsidies, extends irrigation to historically neglected areas, and has constructed 2,088 Amrit Sarovars, reflecting visionary planning and long-term thinking, he said.
The Home Minister further said that although Haryana is a small state, it has consistently contributed to agriculture, dairy production, sports, and national security. Under Sh. Nayab Singh Saini’s leadership, this legacy has grown even stronger.
The Home and Cooperation Minister further stressed that while Haryana plays a major role in industry, GST, and income tax contributions, the true measure of any government is the well-being of its farmers. Nayab Singh Saini has given Haryana’s farmers a reason to smile, and this is his greatest achievement, he said.
Amit Shah also expressed confidence that, following the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s mantra of ‘Sahkar se Samriddhi’ (Prosperity through Cooperation), Haryana Chief Minister will continue to strengthen Haryana’s standing among the country’s leading states.
