Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday said that the State Government has decided to name the 700-bedded government hospital being built in Gurugram at an estimated cost of Rs 1000 crore after Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev. Saini, interacting with the media persons after paying obeisance at Gurudwara Nada Sahib in Panchkula, said that he has prayed for the economic well-being and prosperity of the state.   It has also been decided to name the 77 acres of land at Chilla Sahib Gurudwara in Sirsa to Gurudwara itself, where Guru Nanak Dev Ji had spent 40 days. This is a matter of great pride for all of us, he said.   The Chief Minister said that a portal has also been launched to resolve the enhancement related disputes of the plot holders of Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP). Over 7,000 plot holders would benefit from this initiative. This portal would remain open for six months starting from November 15.   If the Congress government had made decisions in the peoples interest, the people of Haryana would not have worked to defeat them…Centuries ago, Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught humanity the lesson of Kirat Karo, Naam Japo and Wand Chhako. The state government has considered the words and teachings of Baba Nanak as paramount. The teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji will always be remembered for spiritual enlightenment, worldly prosperity and social harmony, he added.   Saini said that on the occasion of the 555th prakash parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, we have presented a special gift to the states farmers by releasing a bonus of Rs 300 crore. With a single click, the amount was directly transferred to the bank accounts of 2.62 lakh farmers, he said.   Launches Distribution of Soil Health Cards To Farmers Taking another initiative for the farmers, the Chief Minister launched the distribution of 40 lakh Soil Health Cards through WhatsApp. This initiative has been introduced to address delays in the distribution of the printed cards, which were preventing farmers from utilizing the recommendations on time. Now, soil health cards will be directly sent to farmers mobile numbers through WhatsApp as soon as the results of their soil tests are uploaded to the online portal.   He said that soil testing is conducted every three years in the state to provide farmers with vital information, including the quantity of seeds required and the appropriate use of fertilizers, helping to boost crop yields. By receiving timely soil health cards, farmers will be encouraged to apply fertilizers based on actual soil requirements. The quick distribution of these cards will not only increase their usage among farmers but also contribute to enhanced productivity and income, Saini added.   Farmers are deeply disillusioned with Congress party Saini said that while Congress leaders talked extensively, they did not work on the ground. As a result, the farmers are deeply disillusioned with the Congress party. He said that Congress lacked policy and the intention. In contrast, he said, the Haryana government has both the policy and the intention to support and uplift farmers, and is continuously working toward that goal.   He said that farmers in Punjab were forced to block roads just to sell their crops. Even then, many of them were unable to sell their produce and did not receive the payment on Minimum Support Price (MSP).   Saini said that the present State Government has always prioritized the welfare of farmers and worked tirelessly to strengthen and empower them. He said that even during the elections, the dedicated efforts of government officers ensured that every grain of the farmers produce was purchased.
