Addressing a function to honour meritorious students at Maharshi Dayanand University here, he said the initiative is part of the government's efforts to prepare a skilled and innovative youth force in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat-2047.

Students securing top positions in Class 10, Class 12 and Haryana Board Olympiad examinations were felicitated during the programme.

He urged students to treat their achievements as milestones and continue striving for greater success.

Highlighting education reforms, Saini said the government has established 391 STEM Labs in government schools to promote digital education, artificial intelligence, robotics and advanced technologies.

He added that Atal Tinkering Labs are being set up in 250 schools for Rs 25 crore.

He said Haryana currently has 468 PM SHRI and Government Model Sanskriti Schools, while the government also plans to establish 250 Excellence Schools offering education in both Hindi and English mediums.

The chief minister said Mission Buniyaad and the Super 100 Programme are being implemented in 103 government schools.

Under these initiatives, 277 students have secured admission to premier institutions, including IITs, NITs and IIMs, while 61 students are pursuing medical education.

Saini also said the state has created a Department of Foreign Cooperation to facilitate overseas employment opportunities for youth.

As part of the initiative, foreign language education is being introduced in schools, and 60 teachers have already received French language training.
