Chandigarh; Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said the Ahirwal region has always been known as the land of the brave. This sacred soil has given birth to countless warriors who have dedicated everything to the nation. He said visiting such a land of sacrifice is a matter of great fortune for him. Today, the glory of Maharaja Shoor Saini has further sanctified this place. Maharaja Shoor Saini was a mighty, learned, righteous, spiritual and people-centric ruler. His kingdom reflected true socialism.
The Chief Minister was addressing the state-level Maharaja Shoor Saini Jayanti ceremony in Narnaul as the Chief Guest. Prior to this, he inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of 19 development projects worth Rs 84 crore.
He assured that most of the demands placed before him by Narnaul MLA Sh. Om Parkash Yadav will be fulfilled and affirmed that the pace of development in the region would continue to accelerate.
During the event, the Chief Minister announced that the General Hospital to be constructed at Maharishi Chyawan Medical College, Koriawas, will be named after “Shaheed Rao Tula Ram.” He also said that no effort will be spared in the development of Narnaul and that the unapproved colonies in the area will be regularized as per norms.
Extending greetings to the people on the occasion of Maharaja Shoor Saini Jayanti, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the Saini community has an ancient and glorious history. Social reformers like Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and India’s first woman teacher Savitribai Phule are jewels of the Saini community. They made revolutionary contributions, especially in the field of women’s education. Similarly, they dedicated their entire lives for the upliftment of the weaker sections.
The Chief Minister said that the Saini community played a significant role in India’s freedom struggle. The community gave freedom fighters such as Sardar Mehnga Singh Saini, Ajit Singh Saini and Hari Singh Saini, who were part of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s Azad Hind Fauj.
This community has also contributed great saints like Sant Shree Likhmidas, military commander Gulab Chand Saini of the Ballabhgarh estate, Bihar’s social reformer Babu Jagdev Prasad Kushwaha, hockey wizard Major Dhyan Chand Kushwaha, and renowned artist and creator of Chandigarh’s Rock Garden, Padma Nek Chand Saini.
The Chief Minister said that under the Sant-Mahapurush Vichar Samman evam Prasar Yojana, the government is working to spread the teachings of saints and great personalities to every household. The celebration of Maharaja Shoor Saini Jayanti is also a part of this initiative. Following the path shown by these great figures, the state government is continuously working for the welfare and upliftment of all sections with the spirit of ‘Haryana Ek–Haryanvi Ek’.
He said under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state government is moving forward with the policy of ‘Sabka Saath – Sabka Vikas – Sabka Vishwas – Sabka Prayas’. The welfare and upliftment of the poor has always been the government’s commitment. Therefore, the foundation of development is the empowerment of the poor. The focus on last-mile delivery has transformed the lives of these sections.
Nayab Singh Saini also highlighted various schemes undertaken for the welfare and upliftment of backward classes and said that the policies of the state government are not for any one community or caste, but for the entire society of Haryana.
