The Chief Minister's Office of Haryana on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, posted a wide-ranging tribute on X marking 12 years of the Narendra Modi-led central government, crediting the period with 'unprecedented achievements' in development, heritage restoration, environmental conservation, and inclusive welfare.

Context

The post, written in Hindi, states: 'Pichle 12 varshon mein Bharat ne vikas, virasat, paryavaran sanrakshan aur samaveshi kalyan ke kshetra mein abhootpoorv uplabdhiyan hasil ki hain' — ('In the past 12 years, India has achieved unprecedented milestones in development, heritage, environmental conservation, and inclusive welfare'). It specifically highlights wildlife conservation and efforts to protect endangered species, the integration of tribal communities into the development mainstream through 'historic schemes', and the symbolic significance of Kartavya Path as a break from a 'colonial mindset'. The post was accompanied by four images and carried the hashtags #12YearsOfSeva and #ViksitBharat.

Policy Backdrop

Kartavya Path, the ceremonial boulevard in Central Delhi, was renamed and redeveloped from the colonial-era Rajpath under the Central Vista project, inaugurated in September 2022. The renaming was positioned by the central government as a symbolic act of decolonisation of public spaces. On the tribal welfare front, the PM JANMAN scheme — launched in 2023 — specifically targets Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups, providing housing, connectivity, and livelihood support to communities historically left outside mainstream development pipelines.

Connectivity in North-East India has been a stated priority since the Act East Policy replaced the Look East Policy in 2014. The PM-DevINE scheme, announced in the Union Budget 2022-23, further channelled dedicated funds for infrastructure in the region. On wildlife, the National Tiger Conservation Authority saw strengthened monitoring and funding following improvements in tiger census methodology after 2014.

Stakeholders and Impact

The post's messaging directly concerns tribal communities — particularly those covered under PM JANMAN — as well as residents of North-East India who have been beneficiaries of expanded rail, road, and air connectivity. Wildlife conservation groups and environmental stakeholders are also implicitly addressed through the reference to protection of endangered species.

The Haryana CMO's amplification of central government milestones reflects a pattern seen across BJP-governed state governments, where state-level official accounts participate in marking anniversaries of the central administration. The post frames these achievements as the 'foundation of a developed, self-reliant, and glorious India' — language aligned with the Viksit Bharat vision, the government's roadmap for a developed India by 2047.

What's Next

Parliamentary discussions on tribal sub-plan budget allocations and further North-East connectivity project approvals are expected in the next budget session. The Environment Ministry may announce new phases of species recovery programmes as the government continues to highlight conservation credentials. The #ViksitBharat campaign is expected to intensify as the 2047 centenary of independence approaches, with state governments likely to remain active amplifiers of the central narrative.
