Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that religious and social institutions play a pivotal role in guiding society, offering a new path through education, culture, and the fight against social evils. He highlighted that institutions like the Brahma Kumari Sansthan contribute significantly to social awareness and the betterment of people's lives.

Speaking as the chief guest at a program held at the Brahma Kumari center in Sector 9, Karnal, the Chief Minister said that these institutions work tirelessly to illuminate the lives of those in need and strive to eradicate societal problems. He praised the Brahma Kumari Sansthan for not only raising awareness but also promoting organic farming and reducing chemical use among farmers.

He also acknowledged the recent Van Mahotsav program, where the Forest Department, alongside various religious and social organizations, planted around 20,000 saplings in Oxygen Park. The Brahma Kumari organization played an active role in this initiative. The Chief Minister announced a grant of Rs. 11 lakh for the Brahma Kumari Ashram.

Further, the Chief Minister urged people to follow Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to plant a tree in their mother's name. He encouraged families to plant trees in the name of their children at every occasion and to protect these trees.

Highlighting the growing environmental concerns, he noted that the rise in temperatures, reaching up to 50 degrees this summer, serves as a warning. He stressed the need for vigilance as environmental pollution affects seasonal patterns and depletes groundwater. He emphasized the importance of addressing these issues for the benefit of future generations.

He said that to fulfill Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of transforming India into a developed country, the people of India voted for the lotus symbol in the Lok Sabha elections, resulting in the BJP forming the government for the third time under Modi's leadership. The Prime Minister aims to position India as a global leader in the 21st century.

Expressing his gratitude, he highlighted that the people of Karnal not only supported Sh. Manohar Lal in the Lok Sabha elections but also him in the Karnal Assembly by-election, due to which Mr Manohar Lal reached Delhi and sent him to Chandigarh. He extended his heartfelt thanks to the people of Karnal for their support.

Nirmal Didi, in-charge of the Brahma Kumari Ashram, welcomed the Chief Minister and praised him for his gentle demeanor and the affection he has garnered from the people of the state. She commended his tolerance, hard work, and honesty, which are widely acknowledged in various communities. She mentioned that the Chief Minister's visit to the ashram had generated a wave of devotional energy.
