Keep Dreaming, We Will Help Turn Your Dreams into Reality- CM to Youth

CM interacts with students  during 'Chhatra Samvad Mukhyamantri Ke Saath' in Sonipat, says preparing for competitive examinations is no less than a penance

Chandigarh, August 6: Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday urged young people to dream fearlessly and pursue their aspirations with determination, assuring them that the state government stands firmly by every deserving youth in transforming those dreams into reality. He said dreams should inspire action and perseverance, and the government is fully committed to creating an environment where every deserving young person gets an equal opportunity to succeed through a transparent and merit-based system.

The Chief Minister was interacting with students preparing for competitive examinations during the 'Chhatra Samvad Mukhyamantri Ke Saath' programme organised in Sonipat. Students from different parts of the state also joined the interaction virtually. ICS Centre Founder Sh. Parimal Kumar welcomed the Chief Minister on the occasion.

Interacting with the students, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said whenever he looks at the youth, he sees the bright future of Viksit Bharat and Viksit Haryana. He said the world today no longer sees India merely as a large market but as a nation of immense opportunities and a country whose youthful population has the potential to provide global leadership.

He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, India is moving ahead by harnessing the strength of the world's largest youth population. This demographic advantage, he said, will play a decisive role in realising the vision of a developed India by 2047.

Describing preparation for competitive examinations as no less than a penance, the Chief Minister said lakhs of young aspirants devote themselves to rigorous study, overcome numerous challenges and continue striving towards their goals despite social and personal pressures. He said the government understands and respects their hard work, dedication and determination.

The Chief Minister said Haryana has established a transparent recruitment system that ensures deserving candidates receive opportunities purely based on merit. He added that the state's recruitment reforms have earned appreciation from Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi as well. The government's priority, he said, is to ensure that every eligible youth gets a fair opportunity to build a secure future through honesty, merit and transparency.

*Government has taken decisive steps to strengthen the education system*

The Chief Minister said the Haryana Government has adopted a zero-tolerance approach against those who seek to jeopardise the future of students. Stringent laws have been enacted to curb incidents such as paper leaks, and strict action is being ensured against those found guilty so that the interests of hardworking aspirants remain fully protected.

Highlighting the government's initiatives in the education sector, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said Haryana has been consistently achieving new milestones in improving educational infrastructure and expanding access to quality education. Special emphasis has been laid on empowering girls through education by making government-supported education available up to the postgraduate level. He said government colleges have also been established at intervals of about 20 kilometres across the state, making higher education more accessible to students, particularly those from rural areas.

The Chief Minister said the network of PM SHRI Schools has been expanded across the state, while specialised Chief Minister Excellence and Early English (CMEEE) Schools are also being developed to provide quality education and nurture academic excellence.

He said the government has also launched focused initiatives such as Mission Buniyad and Super-100 to provide students studying in government schools with specialised coaching for competitive examinations. These initiatives have produced encouraging results, enabling a large number of students to qualify in prestigious national-level competitive examinations.

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the Haryana Government is laying equal emphasis on employment generation, sports, skill development and modern education to equip young people for future opportunities. He noted that Haryana's youth and sportspersons have consistently brought laurels to the state at national and international levels, reflecting the immense talent and potential of the state's younger generation.

Urging young people to stay away from drugs and misinformation, the Chief Minister said substance abuse weakens individuals, families and society alike. He appealed to the youth to channel their energy towards education, skill development and nation-building, expressing confidence that Haryana's young generation would play the most significant role in achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat.

*Silence of INDIA bloc leaders reflects their indifference towards the interests of youth- CM*

The Chief Minister said that two distinct approaches to governance are visible in the country today. One, under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, is focused on building a Viksit Bharat, ensuring transparent governance and creating better opportunities for the youth. The other, he said, is driven by opposition for the sake of politics, spreading misinformation and attempting to mislead young people for political gains. He remarked that for some political parties, opposing every positive initiative has become a matter of political strategy.

Referring to Haryana's recruitment reforms, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the transparent recruitment system introduced by the state government has restored the confidence of young aspirants. Criticising the opposition, he said those questioning the Central Government should first explain the incidents relating to recruitment examinations, paper leaks and the alleged injustice faced by young aspirants in Punjab.

The Chief Minister said AAP leader Manish Sisodia had publicly stated at Jantar Mantar that if a paper leak occurred in Punjab, the state's Education Minister would resign. However, after such incidents came to light, neither Manish Sisodia, nor Arvind Kejriwal, nor Rahul Gandhi responded to the concerns raised by the youth. He said the silence of INDIA bloc leaders clearly showed that they had little concern for the interests of young people.

Referring to recruitment-related controversies in Punjab, the Chief Minister said questions had been raised over several recruitment examinations, including those for pharmacy posts and Excise Inspectors, compelling many aspirants to approach the courts. He said the Central Government has enacted stringent legislation against paper leaks, providing for severe punishment and heavy penalties for those found guilty. Haryana has also adopted a strict legal framework to deal with such offences and will not spare anyone found playing with the future of deserving candidates.

The Chief Minister urged young people not to be influenced by rumours or misleading campaigns and to remain confident in their hard work, talent and abilities. He assured them that the Haryana Government stands firmly with every deserving youth and remains committed to ensuring equal opportunities through a transparent and merit-based system.

*The Library System has replaced the 'Parchi Kharchi Culture' in Haryana- Dr. Archana Gupta*

Addressing the gathering, Haryana BJP President Dr. Archana Gupta said the Haryana Government is actively engaging with young people and incorporating their suggestions into policymaking. She said India is the youngest nation in the world, with nearly 65 per cent of its population comprising youth. Under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi and Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, both the Central and State Governments are maintaining continuous dialogue with young people and working to address their concerns and aspirations.

Dr. Archana Gupta said Haryana has replaced the 'Parchi Kharchi Culture' with the 'Library System', with libraries being established in villages across the state to provide a conducive environment for study. She said these initiatives are enabling young people to secure employment on the strength of their hard work, dedication and merit.

She further said that the objective of the Central and State Governments is not confined to creating government employment but also to transform young people into job creators through initiatives such as Startup India, Stand-Up India, Make in India, Vocal for Local and various self-employment schemes. Several programmes are being implemented to promote entrepreneurship and make youth self-reliant, she added.

Calling upon young people to uphold democratic values, Dr. Archana Gupta said every citizen has the right to raise his or her demands through peaceful and constitutional means, and this remains the true strength of democracy. She emphasised that violence, damage to public property and disorder can never be the path of any democratic movement. She urged the youth to play a constructive role in nation-building, strengthen democratic traditions and contribute actively towards the vision of a Viksit Bharat.

Sonipat MLA,  Sh. Nikhil Madaan,  Chairman, Haryana Bureau of Public Enterprises, Sh. Mohan Lal Kaushik, Sonipat Mayor, Sh. Rajeev Jain, and other dignitaries also remained present during the programme.
