Haryana to launch statewide campaign showcasing 12 years of government achievements
Arun Gupta, Haryana chief secretary, directs DCs to launch a statewide campaign highlighting the state’s 12‑year governance record.
Arun Gupta, the principal secretary to Haryana chief minister, has instructed deputy commissioners across the state to undertake a coordinated campaign that will bring the government’s 12‑year record to the doorstep of every citizen. The directive was issued during a recent administrative meeting, emphasizing the need for a systematic outreach that informs the public about completed projects, policy initiatives and developmental milestones achieved since the current dispensation took office.
Deputy commissioners, who serve as the chief administrative officers at the district level, have been asked to design local‑level activities that will make the achievements visible and accessible. The plan is expected to involve public meetings, information drives and the use of existing communication channels such as community notice boards and digital platforms. By leveraging the administrative network that already reaches villages and towns, the government aims to ensure that the narrative of its work reaches a broad audience.
The 12‑year span referenced in the directive corresponds to the duration of the present administration’s tenure, a period that has seen a range of infrastructure developments, social welfare programmes and economic initiatives. While specific figures or project names have not been disclosed, the campaign’s purpose is to present a comprehensive overview of the government’s track record, allowing residents to evaluate progress based on tangible outcomes.
Officials involved in the directive have stressed that the exercise is meant to enhance transparency and public awareness rather than serve any partisan agenda. The deputy commissioners have been tasked with preparing detailed implementation schedules, identifying key messages and coordinating with local departments to avoid duplication of effort. Their role will be pivotal in translating the high‑level directive into concrete actions that can be executed at the grassroots level.
The statewide initiative fits within a broader set of efforts by the Haryana government to communicate its governance model to the electorate. By disseminating information about its achievements, the administration seeks to reinforce confidence in its performance and to provide a factual basis for public discourse. The campaign’s timing, while not tied to any specific election calendar, aligns with the natural rhythm of civic engagement that intensifies as the state moves through its electoral cycles.
Implementation of the campaign will rely on the existing structure of district administration, with deputy commissioners acting as the primary liaison between the state secretariat and local communities. The directive calls for regular reporting on the progress of the outreach activities, ensuring that the campaign remains on track and that any challenges encountered are addressed promptly. Success will be measured by the extent to which the message reaches a significant portion of the population and by the level of public engagement observed during the outreach events.
