As a result of contemporaneous study conducted by this Commission to assess the representation of Deprived Scheduled Castes in Government Services, this Commission has come to the conclusion that the Deprived Scheduled Castes are not adequately represented in the state’s government services whereas Other Scheduled Castes of are represented more than adequately in the state’s government services in comparison to their proportion of their population in the SC category in the state.

Haryana’s role will be more important in the resolution of Viksit Bharat.
The Chief Minister made these remarks during a press conference after chairing the first meeting of the newly formed cabinet here today.
The public demolished the narrative of Congress and gave full majority to BJP
Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the people of the state have endorsed the welfare policies of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi with a substantial majority for the third consecutive time. He said that voters have rejected the narrative crafted by the opposition during the elections. The opposition made use of sportspersons in the election, attempted to mislead farmers and engaged with youth on issues like “parchi-kharchi” in recruitment process. The underlying message of such statements was one of corruption. The youth recognized that the corrupt practices in job allocations prior to 2014 could resurface. However, the people of the state dismantled Congress’s narrative and granted a decisive majority to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
He said that just as he has assumed the charge of Chief Minister today, about 25,000 youth have also secured jobs in the state. He remarked that this is a government elected by the poor, with 2.80 crore people placing their trust in the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He highlighted that in the past 10 years, the double-engine government has made historic decisions for the welfare of all sections of society. When seeking support from the public during the recent elections, people openly backed the policies of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi, rejecting the opposition’s propaganda and responding by pressing the lotus button, he added.
Chief Minister warns those involved in criminal activities
The Chief Minister issued a stern warning to individuals engaged in criminal activities, stating that they must either reform themselves or leave the state. He said that there is no place for such individuals in Haryana. The state government is committed to ensuring the safety and security of every citizen.
