Long after the day’s official engagements have ended, Sant Kabir Kutir, Haryana Chief Minister’s residence, continues to receive visitors. They come with papers in their hands and concerns on their minds. One is worried about his daughter’s future. Another is dealing with financial distress in the family. Someone else has come in the hope of receiving the benefit of a government scheme. The hour grows late, but the meetings continue.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini meets people one by one, listens to them patiently and, wherever intervention is required, issues directions to officers for prompt action. His easy accessibility, calm manner and willingness to hear people out have increasingly come to define his direct connect with citizens across Haryana. These late-night interactions also reflect a larger approach to governance, one that seeks to bridge the distance between government policy and the people it is meant to serve.
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, the State Government has placed particular emphasis on ensuring that social security and welfare measures do not remain confined to announcements, but translate into tangible support in the lives of eligible beneficiaries.
That approach can be seen across a range of recent initiatives, from strengthening the financial security of women and creating a support system for senior citizens to expanding opportunities for skill development and providing rehabilitation to those affected by drug abuse.
The Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana is set to cover many more women in Haryana, with Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini announcing an increase in the annual income eligibility limit from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.80 lakh.The Chief Minister-led State Government is also moving to strengthen support for senior citizens by focusing on care within the home. As part of the initiative, 1,000 trained care assistants, or caregivers, will be prepared to provide home-based care and primary medical assistance to senior citizens across the state.
Chief Minister’s Mantra: People First, Viksit Haryana for Viksit Bharat 2047
For Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, this people-centric approach is also integral to Haryana’s journey towards becoming a developed and empowered state in line with the national resolve of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
