CM Saini Orders Effective Monitoring of Haryana Welfare Schemes
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini directs officers to ensure transparency in welfare schemes and deliver tangible benefits to farmers and rural communities.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has issued strict directives to state officials to ensure that the benefits of various government welfare schemes reach the rightful beneficiaries with absolute transparency. Speaking at a high-level review meeting in Chandigarh, the Chief Minister emphasized that the success of departmental initiatives should be measured by the tangible impact they have on farmers, women, youth, and rural communities, rather than just through statistical increases.
Focus on Grassroots Implementation and Transparency
Chairing a comprehensive review meeting of key state departments, the Chief Minister scrutinized the progress and technological advancements within several vital sectors. The review included the Departments of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Horticulture, Development and Panchayats, Irrigation and Water Resources, and the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB), along with the Cooperation Department.
A major highlight of the meeting was the progress made by the Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Department. The department reported significant success in linking the Integrated Fertiliser Management System (IFMS) with the Meri Fasal Mera Byora (MFMB) portal. This technological integration ensures that fertilisers are distributed via POS machines exclusively to verified and registered farmers, effectively curbing black marketing and the industrial misuse of Urea and DAP. This initiative has already resulted in a massive subsidy saving of Rs 820 crore between October 2025 and September 2026.
Scientific Solutions for Crop Protection
To further support the agricultural sector, the Chief Minister proposed several forward-looking initiatives:
- Field-Based Research: Scientists have been directed to move beyond office environments and engage directly with farmers in the fields to research pest and disease outbreaks, such as caterpillar infestations.
- e-Pest Surveillance System: A new digital system will be developed to provide timely alerts to farmers regarding pest-related threats.
- Dedicated Research Centre: A specialized centre will be established to focus on new technologies and the development of improved crop varieties, specifically targeting sugarcane and other essential agricultural crops to boost production and quality.
Ensuring Full Benefits for Farmers
The Chief Minister placed heavy emphasis on the seamless delivery of insurance and compensation schemes. Regarding the Mukhyamantri Kisan Evam Khetihar Mazdoor Jeevan Suraksha Yojana, he instructed that insurance agencies must ensure every eligible farmer receives their full due compensation for actual losses. He called for rigorous monitoring to prevent any lapses in benefit delivery.
Similarly, while reviewing the Horticulture Department’s Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana (BBY), the CM directed officials to streamline the verification of crop production and sales in mandis. He stressed that the crop mapping and verification methodology must be strengthened to ensure that benefits are provided accurately based on actual production and sales, while keeping the process simple for the farmers.
Empowering Rural Youth
Beyond agriculture, the meeting touched upon social infrastructure. The Chief Minister reviewed the Atal Library initiative, launched by the Development and Panchayats Department, which aims to provide superior study facilities and educational resources to students and youth living in rural areas.
