Presiding over the 31st meeting of the Mewat Development Board at Zila Parishad Conference Hall in Nuh on Friday, Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini approved several welfare schemes aimed at the region’s development. Upon arrival, the Chief Minister and other dignitaries were welcomed by Mewat Development Board Chairman and Gurugram Divisional Commissioner, Ramesh Chandra Bidhan. During the meeting, Deputy Commissioner Vishram Meena presented a detailed, point-wise agenda and submitted a comprehensive report to the Chief Minister on behalf of the district administration.
Saini extended his heartfelt greetings and best wishes to the people of the state on the occasion of Eid, to be celebrated on Saturday. He highlighted that the Mewat region is achieving remarkable progress across multiple sectors including education and healthcare. Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi took a significant step toward the development of the region by including Nuh district in the Aspirational Districts Programme. Launched in 2018, the programme identified 112 relatively backward and remote districts in the country, with Nuh initially ranked at 108th. Due to the sustained focus and coordinated efforts of both the Central and State Governments, Nuh has now risen to the 20th position among aspirational districts. This remarkable improvement stands as a testament to the region’s ongoing developmental transformation. The Chief Minister emphasized that Mewat is steadily advancing on the path of progress. Significant improvements have been made in infrastructure, health, education, nutrition, agriculture, water resources, financial inclusion, and skill development, all of which are contributing to the district's holistic growth.
Saini, while chairing the meeting of the Mewat Development Board decided that the Government Model Sanskriti School, currently being operated under the Education Department in the Mewat area, will now be supervised by the Mewat Development Authority. The Chief Minister also said that the construction of the Unani Medical College in village Akera will commence soon, following a fresh tender process. In addition, the construction of the Mewat Model College in Ferozepur Jhirka will be initiated shortly.
