Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, on Thursday announced that a new Circuit House costing Rs. 120 crore will be constructed on the southern side of the sacred Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra, giving a further boost to tourism infrastructure in the holy city.
The Chief Minister made the announcement while addressing a gathering at the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ and blood donation programme organised under the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ at Purushottampura Bagh on the sacred Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra.
He said that the Haryana Government is continuously working to modernise healthcare facilities, promote safe blood donation and ensure the quality of blood bank services. Haryana is the first State in North India to introduce Single Donor Platelets for dengue patients in government hospitals. The State has strengthened platelet centres and blood collection facilities and has also succeeded in collecting blood units beyond the prescribed targets.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister visited the blood donation camp, encouraged the blood donors and also honoured them. He flagged off two medical mobile units and viewed the Rangoli created at the programme venue. Thereafter, the Chief Minister lit an ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ at Brahma Sarovar. Around 1.25 lakh diyas were illuminated at Brahma Sarovar.
The Chief Minister said that service is the foundation for strengthening society and the nation. Blood donation is an act of service to humanity through which the life of a person in need can be saved. Encouraging the blood donors, he said that every healthy person in society should come forward for the noble cause of blood donation.
He said that medical mobile units have been launched with the objective of bringing healthcare services closer to the people. Each unit will have a team comprising a doctor, staff nurse and pharmacist, and will provide regular health check-ups and necessary tests. These mobile units will help provide healthcare services closer to people in need.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi has treated public office not as a means of authority but as a medium of public service, giving the country a new direction of service, good governance and development over the past 25 years.
The Prime Minister has dedicated every moment of his life to the progress of the nation, welfare of the poor and upliftment of the last person in society. Inspired by this spirit of service, the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ launched in the State will not merely remain a government programme but will become a people’s movement for service, health, cleanliness, public participation and development.
The Chief Minister said that the launch of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan on the birthday of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, is special in itself. Under the Prime Minister’s leadership, the country is transforming rapidly and moving tirelessly towards realising the resolve of Viksit Bharat-2047. When modern technology is integrated with service to humanity, development gains new momentum. This confluence of compassion and capability was also visible at today’s programme.
Paying his respects to Bhagwan Vishwakarma on his Jayanti, the Chief Minister said that Bhagwan Vishwakarma is regarded as a symbol of creation, craftsmanship, knowledge and science. On the other hand, Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, has accelerated the building of a modern and strong India during the past 12 years and enhanced the country’s stature on the global stage.
*Blood Donation a Living Example of the Gita’s Karma Yoga*
The Chief Minister said that today we are present at Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra, the sacred land of Karma of Bhagwan Shri Krishna. It was from this sacred land that Bhagwan Shree Krishna gave humanity the divine message of Karma Yoga through the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. The message of the Gita inspires us to perform our duty without worrying about the fruits of our actions.
Appreciating the blood donors, he said that a person donating blood does not know who will receive it, but the effort can save the life of an unknown person. This is selfless action, this is true service and this is what it means to imbibe the message of the Gita in one’s life. There can be no greater dharma than giving one’s own blood to save the life of an unknown person. Blood has neither caste nor religion; it is simply a symbol of life.
The Chief Minister said that the Prime Minister’s life is a source of inspiration and guidance for all of us. He has dedicated every moment of his life to the progress of the nation, welfare of the poor and upliftment of the last person in society.
He said that the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, inspired by the spirit of ‘Seva Hi Sangathan’ and ‘Jan Seva Hi Ishwar Seva’, will continue till October 17. The objective of the campaign is to rise above politics and take the message of service, health, cleanliness and development to every corner of Haryana.
The Chief Minister said that there can be no more meaningful gift on the birthday of a person who has made public service the purpose of his life than helping someone in need. The blood donation camp is an expression of respect for the Prime Minister and the spirit of service.
He said that on October 7, Sh. Narendra Modi will complete 25 years of his journey of public service through governance as Chief Minister and Prime Minister. From 2001 to 2026, he has continuously served the people through governance. The greatest inspiration from his journey is that the significance of a public office lies not in the authority it carries, but in the public service rendered through it.
The Chief Minister said that Indian culture has a tradition of treating the joys and sorrows of the people as one’s own. Our scriptures also say, ‘Nar Seva Hi Narayan Seva’. Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, in keeping with this spirit, stands with the poor, farmers, youth, women and every section of society in their joys and sorrows.
He said that during the past 12 years, numerous schemes and major projects have been implemented in the State and the country to make people’s lives easier. Projects such as the elevated railway track in Kurukshetra and the 152-D have enhanced convenience for the people.
*Numerous Programmes on Service, Health, Cleanliness and Public Participation to be Held Over 30 Days*
The Chief Minister said that the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, which will continue for the next one month, belongs to every Haryanvi. During this period, several programmes, including health check-up camps, environmental conservation, cleanliness, plantation drives and initiatives for the empowerment of youth and women, will be organised across the State.
He said that the Government can formulate policies and implement schemes, but a resolve reaches fruition only when people themselves become part of a campaign. From the sacred land of Kurukshetra, he called upon every citizen of the State and social, religious and other organisations to make their contribution to this ‘Seva Mahayagya’. Wherever and in whatever form an opportunity for service arises, people should come forward and fulfil their responsibility.
*Central Government Initiatives Have Given the Country a New Direction and Taken it to New Heights*
The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat, PM-KISAN, Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana, Startup India, Stand-Up India, Make in India, Digital India and Khelo India have given India a new direction and taken it to new heights during the past 12 years.
He said that under the Prime Minister’s leadership, the country is rapidly advancing in modern technology and innovation. The commencement of the country’s first hydrogen train from Haryana is a matter of pride for the State. Similarly, initiatives such as Vande Bharat trains, Amrit Bharat Stations and Amrit Sarovars are important steps towards developing modern infrastructure and promoting water conservation.
*Drone Show Reflects India’s Progress in Modern Technology and Innovation*
The Chief Minister also attended the grand drone show organised at Purushottampura Bagh. He said that the drone show demonstrates how Haryana and the country are rapidly progressing in modern technology and innovation. Just as hundreds of drones illuminate the sky together, moving in one direction and in perfect coordination, we too must move forward together with a common resolve for Haryana’s development.
*Take a Resolve for a Viksit Haryana to Build a Viksit Bharat*
Calling upon the people of the State to turn the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan into a people’s movement, the Chief Minister said that the entire State must move forward with a collective resolve to realise Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s vision of Viksit Bharat-2047. If every citizen contributes towards building a Viksit Haryana, the State will contribute even more strongly towards building a Viksit Bharat.
