Chandigarh, May 24 – The 10th meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog was held in New Delhi on Saturday under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi. The meeting was attended by Chief Ministers from various states, including Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to accelerate the pace of development. He said that if the Centre and all states work together as Team India, no goal is beyond reach. A developed India is the aspiration of every citizen. When every state progresses, the nation progresses. This is the collective dream of 140 crore Indians.

In the meeting, Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini presented Haryana's Vision Document-2047, highlighting the state’s active contribution in achieving the national goal of ‘Developed India @2047’. The document outlines Haryana’s target of becoming a one trillion-dollar economy by 2047 and aims to create 50 lakh new jobs.

The Chief Minister said that the Prime Minister’s vision, policies, and decisions have consistently served the national interest. The vision of a developed India encompasses self-reliance, prosperity, empowerment, capability, inclusiveness, and technological advancement. It is our shared responsibility to realize this vision. To ensure Haryana's active contribution to the national vision, the Haryana Government has developed the State Vision Document-2047 in alignment with the Nation’s Vision Document.

He said that the State Vision Document sets a target of transforming Haryana into a one trillion-dollar economy by the year 2047. He further urged that, once finalized, the Haryana Vision-2047 be integrated into the national-level Developed India Dashboard.

Foundation of the future: Haryana created 'Department of Future'

Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that special emphasis has been placed on six key areas to contribute towards building a developed India. These priorities have also been incorporated into the state budget for the current financial year. To prepare Haryana for the future, a new entity called the Department of Future has been established. This department will explore development opportunities through cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Robotics. Acting as a nodal agency, the Department of Future will spearhead long-term strategic initiatives, technological foresight, and integrated policy-making to realize a trillion-dollar economy and promote inclusive development, aligned with Haryana’s Vision 2047.

From AI Mission to 'Fund of Funds', new opportunities will be created for the youth

The Chief Minister said that Haryana is establishing the Haryana AI Mission to advance Artificial Intelligence initiatives. Recently, the state signed an agreement with the World Bank to support this effort. The Haryana Venture Capital Fund is actively working to promote startups by providing internships, mentorship, and affordable infrastructure for the youth. In addition, the state government has encouraged private investors to create a Fund of Funds worth Rs 2,000 crore, aimed at positioning Haryana as a major hub for innovation and entrepreneurship through strategic investments in startups.

The Chief Minister highlighted that technical barriers are a significant challenge to the rapid economic development, and the shelf life of skills is decreasing. Therefore, there is an urgent need to modernize the skill ecosystem. To address this, he proposed the development of an Integrated Skill Hub to better equip the workforce for future demands.

He said that the Haryana government launched a high-level task force called ‘Mission Haryana-2047’ last year, which has begun working towards achieving a state GDP of one trillion US dollars and creating 50 lakh new jobs.

Efforts underway to eliminate criminalization in 230 Acts of 37 departments, 'Jan Vishwas Bill' is being drafted

Sharing updates on Haryana’s progress, the Chief Minister said that under the PM Gati Shakti initiative, Haryana has consistently retained the ‘Achiever’ category among landlocked states in the LEADS survey for three consecutive years—2022, 2023, and 2024. He highlighted that all projects costing over Rs 100 crore are now required to align with the National Master Plan of PM Gati Shakti. To ease regulatory hurdles, more than 1,100 complex compliances have been simplified, creating a favorable environment for investors in the state. He further said that the state government will soon establish an Ease of Doing Business Cell to further streamline processes. Efforts are also underway to eliminate criminalization from minor provisions across more than 230 Acts in 37 departments. To support this, a state-level Jan Vishwas Bill is being drafted and is expected to be notified by December 2025. This legislation aims to ensure a reliable, transparent, and efficient governance system.

He assured that Haryana will align its efforts with the Central Government’s vision of building a developed India by 2047 and will strive to contribute maximally to this national goal.

Haryana Introduces Model Online Transfer Policy with Inclusive Provisions

Chandigarh, May 24 – The Haryana Government has notified the Model Online Transfer Policy under Articles 162 and 166 of the Constitution of India, a progressive initiative to ensure fair, transparent, and efficient employee transfers across government cadres. Effective immediately, the policy aims to enhance administrative efficiency and job satisfaction through a merit-based online system. A notification to this effect was issued by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi.

The policy covers employees in cadres with 50 or more sanctioned posts, excluding All India Services, Haryana Civil Services (Executive Branch), and Allied Services, unless exempted by the Human Resource Department (HRD). Smaller cadres with fewer than 50 posts may be included at the competent authority’s discretion. All cadre posts, including headquarters positions, are part of the transfer drive. Within 15 days of notification, departments must publish a list of covered cadres, specifying Prescribed Tenure, Minimum Tenure, and Unit, with provisions for periodic revisions with HRD approval.

According to the policy, Post allocations are based on a composite merit score out of 80 points. Age contributes up to 60 points, calculated as age in days divided by 365 (up to four decimal points). For example, a 40-year-old employee scores approximately 40 points. Up to 20 points are awarded for special circumstances: 10 points for all female employees; 10 points for female employees who are unmarried and over 40, widows, divorced, or judicially separated; 10 points for male employees who are divorced, widowers with minor children, or judicially separated with minor children; 5 points for employees whose spouses work in State or Central Government if the transfer reduces posting distance; 10 points for spouses of military or paramilitary personnel; 10 points for employees or their immediate family with debilitating disorders (certified by authorized medical boards like AIIMS or PGI Chandigarh); 10 points for those with 100% differently abled or mentally challenged children; and up to 20 points for employees with disabilities under the RPWD Act 2016, based on disability percentage starting from 40%.

Qualifying debilitating disorders include Chronic Heart Diseases (e.g., Cardiomyopathy, Heart Failure), Chronic Cardiac Dysrhythmias, Interstitial Lung Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Cirrhosis of Liver, Chronic Renal Failure, Epilepsy, Paraplegia, Quadriplegia, Hemiplegia, Parkinson’s Disease, Degenerative Disorders of the Nervous System (e.g., Motor Neuron Disease), Chronic Demyelinating Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Vascular Accident, Multiple Sclerosis, Myopathies, Thalassemia, Haemophilia, Aplastic Anaemia, all types of Cancer, Schizophrenia, AIDS, and Organ Transplants (Heart, Liver, Kidney, Lung, Intestine). Valid medical certificates from authorized institutions are required for this.

Apart from this, an employee who has been awarded major penalty under HCS (Punishment & Appeal) Rules, 2016 shall invite a penalty of -10 marks during the currency of the punishment.

Ensuring more transparency

Transparency is ensured through the publication of cadre details within 15 days, with the online system minimizing subjectivity. The policy supports employees with personal challenges, such as women, those with medical conditions, or disabled children, enhancing access to preferred postings. Departments must comply with the 15-day deadline, and employees should ensure documentation like medical certificates.

Employees may file grievances within 15 days of order issuance, but only after joining at the new place of posting. Complaints must be submitted through intraHaryana.nic.in, and will be addressed within the same time frame.

Administrative Powers and Relaxation

The Chief Minister retains the authority to relax or modify provisions in public interest or administrative exigency. The Human Resources Department will also be the final authority on clarifications.

General online transfers will be made preferably once in a year. However, transfer/posting necessitated by promotion, direct recruitment or administrative exigencies, can be made anytime with the prior approval of the Chief Minister.

Repeal of Earlier Guidelines

All previous transfer policies, including the General Principles for Online Transfers (2020) and related departmental notifications, stand withdrawn from the date of this notification.

Rationalization Process

The department will undertake rationalization to redistribute or ascertain the number of posts in any unit based on administrative requirements and efficiency. This entire stage will be completed within 15 days. Within first 7 days, the department will undertake the preliminary rationalization exercise. There may be a possibility that the number of employees posted in any unit are in excess of the administrative requirement. Such surplus employees will be required to participate in the ongoing transfer drive. Amongst such surplus employees, the employee with the longest stay shall have to participate in the transfer drive. In case where more than one employee are

having the same period of stay, then the younger employee shall have to participate in the transfer drive. Further surplus employees, who belong to the Protected Category shall not be transferred without their consent subject to the condition that not more than 50% of such excess employees in that unit belong to the Protected Category.

The new Model Online Transfer Policy reflects the Haryana Government’s commitment to ensuring fair, technology-driven governance. All departments have been instructed to complete the integration and publication of cadre-specific details promptly to facilitate the successful rollout of the new policy.
