Pension: Just before Diwali, the Haryana government has opened its coffers for the elderly. The state government has made a major announcement for senior citizens. State Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini has announced an increase in old-age pension from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 3,200 per month. The increased amount will be available starting in November. This increase will provide financial relief to approximately 2 million elderly people and improve their quality of life.
Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini announced the increase in pensions for the elderly as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana completes its first year of its third consecutive term. CM Saini stated that last year his government fulfilled 46 of the 217 election promises made before the 2024 assembly elections. He has promised to fulfill 90 resolutions in the current financial year 2025-26.
Panchkula has the fewest elderly people
According to the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Haryana has a total of 3,589 elderly pensioners aged 101 to 120 years. Of these, 2,449 are women and 1,140 are men. This means that two out of every three pensioners are women. These figures indicate that the average age of women in the state is higher than that of men. The highest number of pensioners is in Karnal district, where a total of 230 elderly people fall in this category. Bhiwani and Sirsa are followed by 221 beneficiaries each. Panchkula has the lowest number of pensioners, with only 59.
The government is fulfilling its election promises – CM
State Chief Minister Saini said that among the promises fulfilled is the Lado Laxmi Yojana, under which eligible women are given Rs 2,100 per month. He said that work on other election promises is progressing rapidly. Addressing the “Jan Vishwas-Jan Vikas” state-level program in Panchkula, the Chief Minister announced an increase in pensions effective November 1. He said that the state government is focusing on “equal development” and is working with new momentum and energy to fulfill the Prime Minister’s dream of a developed India.
People of the state received plots of land.
Saini said that his government has allotted 8,029 plots to beneficiaries under the Chief Minister’s Village Housing Scheme in 141 villages. He said that 4,002 plots were distributed in the first phase and last year 77,199 families benefited from various housing schemes.
Opposition takes aim
Political rhetoric has intensified in Haryana over the pension hike. Congress MLA Ashok Arora attacked the state government, saying, “This government only makes empty promises, it does nothing. What difference will a mere ₹200 increase make? The public has been deceived, not relieved.”
