The Prime Minister’s Vision

Shared Responsibility
Saini noted that realizing this vision is a collective responsibility. The Haryana government’s initiative, the State Vision Document 2047, aligns closely with the national objectives, creating a synchronized approach toward development.
Targets for Growth
Among its key targets, the state aims to hit the one trillion-dollar economy milestone by 2047. Special efforts will be made in six key areas, reflecting in the state budget for the current financial year.
Establishment of the Department of Future
To address future challenges, a new entity known as the Department of Future has been established. This department is tasked with exploring advancements through cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and robotics.
Government Initiatives
The Department of Future will serve as a nodal agency, driving long-term strategic initiatives and integrated policy-making to achieve the trillion-dollar economy goal and promote inclusive development.
Advancing Artificial Intelligence
The Haryana AI mission has been initiated to boost Artificial Intelligence efforts in the state. Saini mentioned a recent agreement forged with the World Bank to support these initiatives.
Boosting Startups
The Haryana Venture Capital Fund is actively facilitating startups by providing internships, mentorship, and infrastructure aimed at empowering the youth. The state government is also inviting private investors to create a Rs 2,000 crore fund to strengthen Haryana’s position as a hub for innovation.
Addressing Skill Barriers
One significant challenge highlighted by Saini is the rapid obsolescence of skills, which hampers economic progression. To combat this, he proposed establishing an integrated skill hub to prepare the workforce for future demands.
Mission Haryana-2047
Last year, the Haryana government launched a high-level task force called ‘Mission Haryana-2047’. This initiative aims to elevate the state’s GDP to one trillion US dollars and create 50 lakh new job opportunities.
Recognized Efforts Under PM Gati Shakti
Notably, Haryana has maintained its ‘Achiever’ status among landlocked states in the LEADS survey for three consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024) under the PM Gati Shakti initiative.
Aligning Projects with National Plans
All projects exceeding Rs 100 crore are now required to align with the National Master Plan of PM Gati Shakti, ensuring uniformity and coherence in development efforts.
Simplifying Regulatory Processes
To enhance investor confidence, over 1,100 complex compliance measures have been simplified, creating a favorable business environment. The state government plans to establish an ease of doing business cell to further streamline processes.

Efforts are underway to eliminate the criminalization of minor provisions across more than 230 Acts in 37 departments. A state-level Jan Vishwas Bill is being drafted and expected to be notified by December 2025.
