Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday, 26 June 2026, chaired a high-level review meeting centred on the Haryana Vision-2047 roadmap, administering a pledge to senior officials to advance awareness and community participation under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (Drug-Free India Campaign).

Context

Speaking at the meeting, CM Saini directed officials to reinforce the anti-drug pledge 'nasha mukt Bharat abhiyan ke tahat nasha ke viruddh janjagrukta aur janbhagidari ka sankalp' [a resolve for public awareness and community participation against drugs under the Drug-Free India Campaign]. The gathering brought together senior functionaries of the Social Justice, Empowerment, Scheduled Caste and Backward Class Welfare, and Antyodaya (SEWA) Department to take stock of ongoing welfare schemes and chart the course ahead.

The chief minister stated that the state's resolve is to establish Haryana as 'a developed, prosperous, inclusive, and people-centric state by 2047, where the benefits of development reach the last person in society equally.'

Policy Backdrop

The Haryana Vision-2047 framework is the state's long-term development roadmap aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's national Viksit Bharat @2047 vision, announced in 2023. Several BJP-governed states have prepared parallel roadmaps to synchronise with central welfare architecture and last-mile delivery targets.

The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan was formally launched in 2020 under the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, initially targeting 272 identified vulnerable districts before being expanded nationwide with a focus on youth outreach. Layering anti-drug objectives onto core development planning has become a recurring feature of state-level governance exercises across multiple administrations.

The SEWA Department — which administers social justice, empowerment, SC and OBC welfare, and Antyodaya programmes — presented a detailed progress report on existing welfare schemes at the meeting. Officials also deliberated on new schemes and policy initiatives aimed at delivering 'effective, transparent, and inclusive services to every section of society,' according to CM Saini's post.

Stakeholders and Impact

The review directly concerns Scheduled Caste and Other Backward Class communities, marginalised families, and youth in Haryana — the primary beneficiaries of SEWA-administered programmes. The Antyodaya philosophy underpinning the department's mandate prioritises the poorest and most vulnerable households.

The simultaneous emphasis on drug de-addiction is significant for Haryana, which shares borders with Punjab — a state that has faced acute substance-abuse challenges — and has historically reported drug-related concerns among its youth population. Community-level pledges administered to government officials are intended to cascade awareness down to district and block levels.

What's Next

The next milestone to watch is the quarterly progress report on Vision-2047 district-level indicators, alongside any new SEWA schemes that may be announced in the 2026-27 Haryana budget cycle. CM Saini's emphasis on 'new schemes and policy initiatives' signals that formal announcements on welfare expansion could follow in the weeks ahead, as the state moves to translate its long-horizon roadmap into measurable, time-bound deliverables.
