Haryana and the saga of Bhakra Dam

 CM Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda recently assured people of Haryana that he will do everything to get them their share of water from the Bhakra Dam for which the Hansi-Butana Canal has already been dug.

“Some vested interests are plotting to derail our plan to get water to Haryana through the Hansi-Butana Canal but I would ensure that they do not succeed in their designs,” he said. He gave this assurance while addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stones and inaugurating various projects at Ismaila village in the district.

The canal has been dug to ensure that Haryana’s share of water from Bhakra Dam reaches every part of the state, he said. Shri Hooda said that when he became an MP, he assured the people of the area that he would never compromise on the interests of the state.

“The people of the state are with me and I will fulfill every promise I made to them. When the Congress came to power in 2005 and I became Chief Minister, people said my government won’t last long. But with the blessings of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, and cooperation of the people, my government has lasted full term and performed excellently,” Hooda said.

Before Congress came to power, the area was backward. The people of the state gave him a chance to remove backwardness and the Hooda family has taken every step to ensure that the state is on its way to prosperity and growth.

Infrastructure Development in Haryana

Infrastructure bottleneck has been a serious concern in India in its way of robust pace of economic progression.  Physical infrastructure is an integral part of development of an economy and provides basic services that people need in their everyday life. The contribution of infrastructure to economic growth and development is well recognized. It extends vital support to productive sectors, generates high productivity and supports strong economic growth.

Haryana Government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that Haryana does not lag behind in the race to development. Shri Kamal Nath ji, Hon’ble Minister for Urban Development, Govt of India has accorded approval to various projects under UIDSSMT (Urban InfrastructureDevelopment Scheme for Small and Medium Towns) for development of Roads, Drinking water facilities and Sewerage in Rohtak city. UIDSSMT is a Govt of India scheme which aims at improvement in urban infrastructure in towns and cities in a planned manner.

Shri Deepender Singh Hooda met Shri Kamal Nath ji during the winter session of Parliament and also spoke to him a few days back requesting to clear these proposals.

The Japanese Ambassador to India Mr. Takisai Yagi recently said “Japanese Industrialists consider Haryana as their second home and will continue investing in Haryana”. The comment says much about the kind of infrastructure Haryana boasts of.

The constant endeavours of Hooda ji are fructifying results and Haryana is on its way to achieve world class infrastructure.

Deepender Singh Hooda’s Pro-People Politics

Deepender Singh Hooda was the youngest Lok Sabha MP when he made his debut in politics in 2005. He defeated his BJP rival by 2,31,958 votes to bag the Rohtak seat. In 2009, it was even better as the winning margin stretched by whopping 4,45,736 votes.

In his constituency, Rohtak, he is known for propagating pro-growth and development politics which has catapulted him to power there. His style of politics is strikingly different and that’s why he’s a hit amongst the people of Haryana as he likes to meet them and conduct one-on-one interactions.

Haryana’s First Nuclear Project Inaugurated

In an era where nuclear power is the only alternative available to meet the energy demands of the ever-increasing population, Haryana, under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda, gets its first nuclear power plant inaugurated. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh laid the foundation of 2,800 Megawatt nuclear power plant in Fatehabad district of Haryana. The project named as ‘Anu Vidyut Pariyojna’, will cost approximately 23502 crore Rupees and will have four units of 700 MWS each. These are Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) which will use natural uranium as fuel and heavy water as coolant and moderator.

“Our government has laid a lot of emphasis on the power sector. The power generation capacity enhancement in the last 10 years is higher than what was achieved in the previous 55 years since independence,” said PM Manmohan Singh after inauguration. The nuclear plant is expected to accelerate the pace of development and generate more employment opportunities for the locals.

The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) will build these reactors.  NPCIL is the sole body responsible for constructing and operating India's commercial nuclear power plants. The company has 21 nuclear reactors in operation at seven locations. The total installed capacity of these nuclear reactors is 5780 MWs.  The initiative clearly depicts a futuristic approach of the Hooda government that aims to capitalise well on the most vital energy source capable of ensuring a more sustainable industrial civilization.
