Haryana achieves another milestone!

Shri DS Hooda determinedly keeps working on how to provide better services to the people of Haryana. A leader has the potential to bring the best out of the resources provided to him. Only a good leadership can change the plight of a state and provide its people with the best amenities.  Incorporating the same thought, Hooda-led Haryana government has been setting hallmarks in development.

The state will soon be achieving yet another milestone. It will be a historic event when CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda will flag off 2 new trains from Rohtak station on 1st March 2014.

These 2 new trains- 2nd EMU between Rohtak & Delhi and a daily passenger train between Rewari and Rohtak were announced in the Interim Railway Budget 2014. They will be of immense use to the people of these regions.

Despite suffering from a severe back injury, Shri DS Hooda managed to fix the flag off date and is ensuring that everything gets executed well.

I feel immensely proud to be a part of the state which is led by such passionate leaders. I am very sure that under the leadership of the Hooda family, the state will definitely achieve mammoth heights.

Paying respect to the Jawans

Every Indian is proud of the gallantry tradition of our armed forces. They have not only served courageously in the battlefield, but also pitched in with heroism whenever the country needed them. Shri Deepender Singh Hooda completely acknowledges the sacrifice by Jawans in safeguarding India’s prestige.

India has close to 2.5 million ex-servicemen. These 2.5 million former soldiers, and their families, represent a generation that sacrificed its youth in defending India’s honour. Thousands of them, who laid down their lives defending national honour, are now survived by their widows and children.

Congress-led UPA Government’s One Rank One Pension policy will ensure uniform pension for all armed forces personnel retiring at the same rank, and with the same length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement.

OROP (One Rank One Pension) has indeed ushered good news for all gallant Military as well as Para Military serving/ ex servicemen of Haryana.

 Chief Minister Deepender Singh Hooda recently announced massive increase in the amount given to gallant defence personnel like Paramvir chakra from Rs. 31 lakh to Rs 2 Crore, Ashoka chakra and Mahavir chakra Rs 1 crore each, Vir chakra Rs 50 Lakh, Army, Air force and Navy Medal Rs. 21 lakh and Mention-in-dispatches to get Rs 10 Lakh. 

This move shows the concern of the Hooda government towards our valiant soldiers and their families. It's a praiseworthy effort that instills strong hopes of lasting people’s government.

Haryana: The Hub of Indian Sports Part II

In my last blog, I discussed about how Haryana is becoming the sports factory of India. Many steps have been taken by Shri Deepender Singh Hooda to develop sports infrastructure and promote sports in the state.

Econometric models attribute high performance in sports to five factors, namely population, per capita income, past performance, climate and host-effect. Haryana has distinct advantages on these counts. Besides, the state is among the top performers in the country on almost all development indicators. It has achieved and maintained a very high growth rate.

The urban and rural development authorities take construction of sports infrastructure into consideration while preparing and approving area development plans. The government has made use of PPP model to mobilize additional resources for development and maintenance of sporting infrastructure.

 Since the sports are increasingly becoming technology driven, the Department of Sports has identified the equipment that is required for improving standards of performance and physical fitness. Through such streamlined efforts, the state government is working towards promoting excellence in different games in a phased manner.  A number of universities, educational institutions and organizations have built sports stadiums and other infrastructure to encourage sports. A suitable institutional framework has been evolved to ensure optimum utilization of all such infrastructure by different organizations and sportsmen of the state.

It is heartening to see such promising efforts by the government of Haryana. Deepender Singh Hooda deserves appreciation, especially for promoting sports in rural areas and guiding youth towards a brighter life.

Haryana: The Hub of Indian Sports

Haryana and Sports

Sports are not only an integral part of human life but also important for human resource development. They provide effective ways of channelising the energy of youth for productive and meaningful purposes. Deepender Singh Hooda has therefore accorded a high priority to the promotion of sports in Haryana.

Two out of three medals in 2008 Olympics and four out of six Olympic medals in 2012 from London were from the sportspersons hailing from Haryana. In Haryana the Hooda government has put in place systems that is helping the discovery and nurturing of sports talent.

The State has a vibrant sporting culture. With a national population share of just over 2%, athletes from Haryana constituted 16% of the Beijing-bound Olympian contingent in 2008. Its boxers and wrestlers scripted a remarkable success story, evoking international curiosity and admiration.  

The state government has given special attention to the sports infrastructure. 171 block-level stadiums are at various stages of development. An international level sports complex would be soon built at Rohtak. There are sports complexes at all the district headquarters, except new district of Mewat. A new stadium shall be constructed at Nuh in Mewat district and the existing stadium at Palwal shall be upgraded. 

The state government shall continue to build new sports infrastructure as well upgrade the existing ones, out of its own resources and with the assistance of HUDA and HRDF. In the upcoming blog, I shall highlight some other initiatives that have been taken by the state government to ensure that Haryana becomes a nursery of Indian Sports.

A tale of Haryana’s achievements

Shri Deepender Singh Hooda has given a major boost to the development of infrastructure in Haryana.  Under his visionary leadership, many educational, health, road, rail network, power and industrial projects have been started in the state.

A new chapter in developing Haryana as an ‘education hub of international stature’ was added by the Haryana government as foundation stones of ten prestigious educational institutions were laid in Rajiv Gandhi Education City (RGEC) near Sonipat. IIT Delhi also got land in RGEC. Furthermore, National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship & Management (NIFTEM), a deemed university, was also inaugurated in Kundli on Delhi- Haryana border.

The construction work of second campus of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has also been started. Union Health Minister also announced the inclusion of National Cancer Institute and National Heart Institute in the AIIMS-2 complex. India's first post-independence, All Women Government Medical College started in Khanpur Kalan in district Sonipat from this academic session. Not to forget, the foundation stone of a medical college in Karnal, named after late astronaut Kalpana Chawla was also laid.

Haryana not only witnessed the synchronization of two power projects at Jharli, but also reached an understanding with Bhutan to setup Hydel Power Project in the neighbouring country.

The state got its first Shatabdi on Delhi-Rohtak-Tohana-Ludhiana route. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for development of 151 kilometer long, Rai Malikpur-Narnaul-Mahendergarh-Dadri-Bhiwani-Kharak corridor in the state got signed. Rohtak- Kalanaur-Bhiwani-Loharu road also got converted into the national highway. High-Speed train for Panipat-Sonipat-Delhi and Alwar-Gurgaon-Delhi got approval from National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB). NCRPB also approved the survey for Hisar-Rohtak-Delhi high-speed train.

All these infrastructural developments reflect the passion and commitment of the incumbent government to develop the state. Shri Deepender Singh Hooda, clearly stands matchless, with his constant endeavours to make Haryana a world-class state.
