Chandigarh, September 11 – Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ will be organised across the State from September 17 to October 17, 2026, to take Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi’s historic 25-year journey of public life, public service, good governance and nation-building to every citizen. He said the campaign will not merely be a series of programmes. Still, a broad-based public movement to express gratitude for the Prime Minister’s commitment to service, take information about his public welfare initiatives to every family and ensure citizens’ participation in building a Viksit Bharat.
The Chief Minister shared detailed information about the preparations, programmes and objectives of the campaign during a press conference held in Panchkula. Media Advisors to the Chief Minister, Sh. Rajeev Jaitley and Praveen Attrey, and BJP District President, Ajay Mittal, were also present on the occasion.
The Chief Minister said that on October 7, 2026, Karmayogi, visionary and illustrious Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi will complete 25 years of his historic journey of public service and service to the nation through governance. He paid tribute to the Prime Minister for his extraordinary, uninterrupted and dedicated service to the nation over the past 25 years. He said his tenure as Chief Minister and Prime Minister represents an inspiring chapter of service, good governance, resolve and nation-building.
He said the development journey that began with the reconstruction of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, has today evolved into the grand resolve of a developed and self-reliant India. This 25-year journey is not the journey of one individual, but a journey of India’s growing self-confidence. The defining feature of the Prime Minister’s journey, he said, has been that he treated power not as a means of comfort, but as a medium of service. By transforming the work culture of politics, he has demonstrated that if leadership has clear intent, clear policy and strong resolve, extraordinary transformation can be brought about in the life of the common citizen.
*Prime Minister’s Special Bond with Haryana: Projects Worth Rs. 86,000 Crore for the State*
Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said Haryana has been the ‘Karmabhoomi’ of Sh. Narendra Modi and, therefore, he shares a special bond with the State. As Prime Minister, he has visited Haryana 18 times and, during this period, has given projects worth Rs. 86,000 crore to Haryana. Besides, Haryana has received more than Rs. 7 lakh crore over the past 12 years through various Central Government schemes.
He said the major projects given to Haryana by the Prime Minister include the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor, Rail Coach Repair Factory, KMP Expressway, KGP Expressway, Ballabhgarh-Mujesar, Mundka-Bahadurgarh, Gurugram-Sikanderpur and Faridabad-Ballabhgarh Metro links, elevated railway tracks in Rohtak and Kurukshetra, Rohtak-Meham-Hansi railway line, Rithala-Kundli Metro Corridor, National Cancer Institute at the AIIMS campus in Jhajjar and AIIMS in Rewari.
He said that recently, the Prime Minister also inaugurated the country’s first hydrogen train on the Jind-Sonipat railway route.
‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ to Begin September 17: A Mass Campaign of Service, Values and Public Participation
The Chief Minister said the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ will begin on September 17, the Prime Minister’s birthday, with ‘Seva Diwas’. Blood donation camps will be organised on the day and the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ programme will be held in the evening.
He appealed to every family in Haryana to light an ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ at their home at 7 PM on September 17. He said when the lamp of service and resolve is lit in every home, the whole of Haryana will glow with a sense of warmth and gratitude towards the Prime Minister.
He said painting and speech competitions will be organised in all schools from September 17 to October 7. Similarly, the Prime Minister’s 25-year journey of transformation will be taken to villages on October 2 through street plays, music, dialogue and emotional presentations.
He said public welfare schemes launched by the Prime Minister have transformed the lives of crores of families, but their stories often remain untold. During the campaign, such untold stories will be brought before society.
From September 25 to October 7, ‘Aangan Milan Seva’ programmes will be organised with active participation of mothers and children. The contribution of Anganwadi and ASHA workers will also be honoured during these programmes. Similarly, the true transformation stories of 25 lakh citizens of the country will be brought before the people.
He said foot marches and bike rallies will also be taken out from different directions in villages and districts.
*Every Citizen to Devote at Least 25 Minutes to Society*
The Chief Minister said the Prime Minister believes that a Viksit Bharat cannot be built through government efforts alone, but requires the contribution of every citizen. Guided by this spirit, a campaign will be undertaken to ensure that every citizen devotes at least 25 minutes to society.
He said one person may donate blood, another may plant a sapling, someone may undertake a cleanliness drive, teach digital technology to senior citizens or educate needy children. Creating awareness about drug de-addiction, road safety, water conservation, cyber security, women’s health and organ donation can also become a form of service.
The Chief Minister said special Seva Yatras will be undertaken from the Prime Minister’s birthplace, Vadnagar, to his present ‘Karmabhoomi’, Varanasi, and from Varanasi to Vadnagar. These yatras, through 20 different groups and routes, will pass through nearly 10 states.
He said camps will be organised at the block level in every Assembly constituency, where information about and benefits of Central and State Government schemes will be made available at one place.
He said India’s art, culture and the dream of a Viksit Bharat will be presented together. During this period, rangolis will be created by groups of people at prominent public places across the State.
*Youth and Innovators to Get National Platform*
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that under the Innovation Challenge programme, a platform will be provided to youth, students, startups, professionals and grassroots innovators. Selected innovators will be sent to a national-level programme, where their innovations will be showcased through live demonstrations and demos. Youth dialogues will also be organised, and the best innovations will be awarded.
The Chief Minister said the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan will culminate in a grand programme on October 17. Around 1.25 lakh Sarpanches and other public representatives from across the country will participate in it. Thousands of public representatives from Haryana will also take part.
He said 25 years have been completed, but this milestone is not a pause—it marks the next beginning of the resolve to build a Viksit Bharat.
The Chief Minister appealed to all citizens of Haryana to participate enthusiastically in the campaign and express their gratitude for Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s 25 years of service.
*25 Years Not of Power, but of Service; Not of Politics, but of Rashtra Niti*
The Chief Minister said that following the mantra of ‘Jan Seva Se Rashtra Seva’, the Prime Minister has taken every resolve to fruition. Under his leadership, India has emerged on global platforms not merely as a nation that voices its views, but as a ‘Vishwamitra’ that shows direction to the world. He said this transformation is the result of the Prime Minister’s visionary, decisive and nation-first leadership. His guiding principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’ has become a national policy for Antyodaya and inclusive development.
He said that to express gratitude for the Prime Minister’s penance, sacrifice and dedication and to take his message of service to every citizen, the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ will be conducted across Haryana from September 17 to October 17.
*From Gujarat to the Nation: An Inspiring Journey of Development and Good Governance*
The Chief Minister said that as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi worked to provide water to households through the Narmada project. Through the Jyotigram Yojana, electricity was taken to villages, while Vibrant Gujarat helped establish the State as a major centre for investment and industry. Gujarat’s growth rate and administrative model became an example of competitive development for other states.
He said development was not confined to Gujarat’s cities, but villages too were brought into the mainstream of development. After 2014, the same model of development and good governance established in Gujarat was taken forward at the national level.
The Chief Minister said positions changed, responsibilities increased, and circumstances evolved, but one resolve remained unchanged—Nation First.
*India’s Rise from ‘Fragile Five’ to One of the World’s Leading Economies*
Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that before 2014, there was an atmosphere of despondency in the country. The government was unable to take decisions, and policies remained stalled. The world counted India among the ‘Fragile Five’ economies. Today, the same India is among the world’s fastest-growing major economies.
He said this transformation did not happen on its own. It was driven by the Prime Minister’s clear vision, decisive leadership and unwavering faith in the enterprise of 140 crore Indians.
The Chief Minister said that today, an Indian citizen living anywhere in the world proudly says that he or she is a citizen of India. Earlier, our citizens abroad had to explain their identity; today, the world respects the Indian passport. This, he said, is a reflection of India’s growing global stature under the Prime Minister’s leadership.
*Decisive National Security Policy: Firm Action Against Terrorism and Naxalism*
The Chief Minister said there was a time when incidents of terrorism occurred and governments merely responded with statements. Ordinary citizens lived in fear of terrorism. Under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, India has made it clear that there will be no compromise with the country’s security and sovereignty.
He said both external and internal security have been strengthened. Decisive action has been taken towards eliminating Naxalism from its roots. At one time, more than 200 districts were considered affected by Naxalism. Today, these districts are moving forward on the path of peace and development after becoming free from Naxal influence.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that in 2016, the Indian Army responded to the Uri attack by carrying out surgical strikes across the Line of Control. Following Pulwama in 2019, India carried out an air strike in Balakot, sending a clear message that India’s policy was no longer merely one of tolerance, but of decisive response. More recently, through ‘Operation Sindoor’, India once again demonstrated that its policy against terrorism is clear, decisive and unwavering.
*Revival of Heritage and Culture Alongside Development*
The Chief Minister said that under the Prime Minister’s leadership, India has learned to take pride in its culture and heritage while pursuing development. The construction of the grand and divine Shree Ram Temple, transformation of Kashi Vishwanath Dham, development of Somnath pilgrimage centre and construction of Mahakal Lok symbolise the resurgence of India’s cultural consciousness. Today, India is demonstrating its strength in space while also taking pride in its thousands-of-years-old civilisation.
The Chief Minister said it is a matter of pride that India has now emerged among the world’s major powers. There was a time when India sought technology from the world. Today, in line with the Prime Minister’s visionary approach, the country is not only manufacturing missiles using its advanced technology but is also successfully undertaking missions such as Suryayaan, Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan. During ‘Operation Sindoor’ too, the world witnessed the strength of India’s indigenous technology and weapons.
*Welfare of the Poor: A 25-Year Journey Transforming Crores of Lives*
The Chief Minister said this 25-year journey is not merely about pages of a calendar, but about transformation in the lives of crores of Indians. The Prime Minister placed at the centre of government schemes those poor citizens whose voices once failed to reach the corridors of power. As a result of his leadership and focus on the welfare of the poor, nearly 25 crore people have come out of poverty.
He said free foodgrains are being provided to nearly 80 crore people to ensure that no poor family goes to bed hungry. More than 100 crore citizens have been connected with various social security schemes. Nearly 12 crore toilets have been constructed, providing sanitation, security and dignity to poor families, particularly mothers and sisters. More than 4 crore pucca houses have been built for the poor. These are a guarantee of the poor person’s self-respect, security and better future.
During the global COVID-19 pandemic, when even major systems across the world were faltering, India, under the Prime Minister’s leadership, accomplished the unprecedented task of administering nearly 200 crore free vaccine doses to its citizens.
*Youth Power, Startups and Sports: Youth Emerging as Job Creators, Not Job Seekers*
The Chief Minister said that before 2014, the country’s youth struggled with a lack of opportunities and a sense of despair. The Prime Minister connected youth power with hope, innovation, self-reliance and entrepreneurship. Through Startup India, India has today become the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem. Young Indians are now not merely job seekers, but are emerging as ‘job givers’ through startups and unicorns.
Besides, more than 10 crore youth have been sensitised against drug abuse under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan. Make in India has opened new opportunities for youth in manufacturing and innovation, while Khelo India and Fit India have transformed sports into a people’s movement and provided talented sportspersons a strong platform to progress.
The Chief Minister said that while speaking on the confidence motion in Parliament on May 28, 1996, Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji had said, “This country will endure; the democracy of this country will remain immortal.” He said Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s 25 years of public service are an extension of this spirit, where the nation has always remained above the politics of power. In a democracy, the greatest achievement is not remaining in office, but continuously earning the trust of the people.
*Women Empowerment: From ‘Women-Led Development’ to Economic Self-Reliance*
The Chief Minister said that earlier, women empowerment was talked about, but nothing was done on the ground. Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi gave the mantra of ‘Women-Led Development’. The journey that began with ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’ has today reached women’s economic self-reliance in the form of 3 crore Lakhpati Didis.
He said the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam represents a historic decision to ensure women’s participation in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies. Under the Prime Minister’s leadership, the Central Government criminalised the practice of triple talaq, providing Muslim women the right to justice and dignity. Taking the same approach forward, the double-engine government in Uttarakhand implemented the Uniform Civil Code, setting an example in the country that every woman, irrespective of religion or community, should have equal rights.
He said that under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, more than 7.30 crore pregnant women and lactating mothers have received over Rs. 20,000 crore. More than 32 crore bank accounts of women have been opened under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, enabling government subsidies to reach beneficiaries directly.
More than 4.50 crore accounts have been opened under the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, leading to significant improvement in the sex ratio and higher education. Of the more than 3 lakh recognised startups in the country, 48 per cent are led by women. More than 92 lakh Self-Help Groups have been formed across the country, while loans worth Rs. 17 lakh crore have been extended to women under the PM Mudra Yojana.
*Farmers’ Welfare: Resolve to Make Agriculture Modern, Prosperous and Profitable*
The Chief Minister said historic changes have also taken place in the agriculture sector. Efforts have been made to make farming more profitable through agricultural infrastructure, irrigation, natural farming and modern technology.
Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, farmers are receiving annual financial assistance of Rs. 6,000 directly into their bank accounts. So far, Rs. 4.50 lakh crore has been disbursed under Kisan Samman Nidhi. Under the PM Fasal Bima Yojana, 4.20 crore farmers have benefited.
Crop sales worth more than Rs. 5 lakh crore have taken place through the e-NAM platform, directly connecting 1,656 mandis and more than 1.80 crore farmers.
He said nearly 8 crore farmers across the country are receiving access to easy and reliable loans through Kisan Credit Cards. With Shri Anna gaining global recognition, India has, for the first time, entered the world’s top 10 countries in agricultural exports. Through the PM Matsya Sampada Yojana, fish production in the country has doubled from 95 lakh tonnes in 2014-15 to around 2 crore tonnes.
