Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini said that the strength of any country or state does not lie in its grand buildings and structures, but in the knowledge, research and innovation of its youth. He called upon researchers to undertake in-depth research on issues related to the development of the State and public welfare, and to promote research and innovation by making use of the latest technology.
He said that in the Budget for 2026-27, an additional provision of Rs. 20 crore has been made for the ‘Haryana State Research Fund’ to translate ‘Haryana Vision-2047’ into reality. Under this initiative, researchers from colleges, universities and private universities discussed their respective projects with the Chief Minister for 90 research projects.
The Chief Minister said that no problem is too big for a person and every problem can be solved. Researchers, through their knowledge and talent, can make a significant contribution towards making people’s lives easier.
Linking Research with Patents, Technology Transfer and Innovation a Priority of Government – Education Minister
Education Minister, Mahipal Dhanda said that higher education, research and innovation will play the most important role in building a developed, modern and knowledge-based State under ‘Haryana Vision-2047’.
The Education Minister said that financial assistance of Rs. 11.25 crore has been provided for 90 research projects under the ‘Haryana State Research Fund’ launched by the State Government. The Government’s primary objective is to link research with patents, technology transfer and innovation so that an idea originating in a university can, through patents and technology, be transformed into a product, enterprise and employment.
Mahipal Dhanda said that the Haryana State Higher Education Council has prepared a framework for the effective implementation of the announcements made by the Chief Minister for higher education and youth in the 2026-27 Budget.
He said that youth are being connected with industry through Career Development Cells, while the Indian Knowledge System is being integrated into modern education. Through this strong partnership among the Government, universities, industry and the Haryana State Research Fund, Haryana’s youth will not merely be job seekers but will become job creators.
