"Education or employment achieved without 'parchi' or 'kharchi'": Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini
Narnaul, August 9
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday asserted that the state is making significant strides in providing employment and education based on merit, effectively ending the era of "parchi" and "kharchi".
Speaking to ANI after flagging off the Narnaul Half Marathon, the Chief Minister hailed the state's growth.
"Whether it concerns our soldiers ensuring national security, our young athletes winning gold medals, or our youth excelling in the industrial and startup sectors, Haryana is constantly moving forward. Be it in education or in the provision of employment achieved without the need for 'parchi' or 'kharchi', Haryana is making strides," CM Saini said.
The marathon, organised under the 'Haryana Uday Abhiyan' with the theme "Har Ghar Tiranga" and "Drug-Free Haryana," saw participation from thousands of young people. The Chief Minister stated that the initiative aligns with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to safeguard the younger generation from substance abuse.
"It is a matter of great pride for me today, aligning with the vision of our Prime Minister Modi ji and Amit Shah ji, who emphasise that our youth must be saved from the scourge of drugs that we are working towards a drug-free Haryana. The Prime Minister has pledged to build a 'Viksit Bharat'; this goal will be realised when our youth are free from drugs, thereby paving the way for the development of both Haryana and the nation. As part of this ongoing initiative, a 'Drug-Free Haryana' marathon has been organised here in Narnaul today. The campaign was launched in Yamunanagar, and here in Narnaul, you can see that hundreds of thousands of young people have participated in this marathon," he added.
Saini also issued a stern warning to those involved in the drug trade, noting that the state is using all means to dismantle their networks.
"Our police are taking continuous and strict action against the hardcore individuals involved in spreading the drug menace; penalties and fines are being imposed on them, and their properties are being demolished," he warned.
The Chief Minister further remarked that the youth of Haryana deeply appreciate the developmental work being carried out under the Prime Minister's leadership.
"The confidence of the youth has grown. They appreciate the work being done under the leadership of respected Modi ji. You can see the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, an initiative the Prime Minister spoke of during Amrit Kaal, transforming from mere words into a massive public movement," Saini said.

Good to hear about the drug-free initiative. The marathon idea is brilliant - it gets the youth involved in something positive. But I wish they'd also focus on creating more sports infrastructure in smaller towns like Narnaul, not just marathons. Still, any step against drugs is welcome!
Har Ghar Tiranga is such a beautiful movement! My whole mohalla has flags up, and the kids are so excited. The CM is right - when the youth are proud of their nation, they stay away from drugs. Proud to see Haryana leading this charge. 🇮🇳
As someone who follows Indian politics from abroad, this is refreshing to see. The emphasis on merit-based employment and education is exactly what any developing nation needs. Hope the government puts its money where its mouth is and follows through with tangible reforms.
The drug problem in Haryana is serious - I've seen it affect families in my own village. It's good that the CM is taking a strong stance with property demolition and strict action. But we also need rehabilitation programs, not just punishment. Let's hope they think about the victims too.
It's inspiring to see a state government prioritizing youth development and national pride. The 'Drug-Free Haryana' initiative reminds me of similar programs we have in Canada. Wishing the leadership and the people of Haryana all the best in this endeavor! 🍁
"Parchi and kharchi" - this hits home. My cousin
