Deepender Singh Hooda: Making the Right Connection


One very important quality that a political leader must possess in a democracy like India is the willingness to involve the people of the country in the decision making processes. A responsible politician should be empathetic towards the needs of the people and be always ready to serve the nation. Shri Deepender Singh Hooda was first elected to the parliament when he was only 27 years old. Since then, he has come a long way in working towards the welfare of the society whether it is creating opportunities in the education sector or encouraging all round development in the rural infrastructure. His learning curve has been both fast and steep.

Growing penetration of internet in the remote areas of our country has made online media an attractive avenue for public to make their voices heard. As a young MP, he is aware of the important role that social media plays today in mobilization of public opinion. He has been actively using the social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to get the feedback on the various policy works undertaken by both, the state and the central government. Shri Deepender Singh Hooda has recently shared a report card booklet in Facebook which contains the detailed summary of development and public welfare works accomplished by him in his Lok Sabha constituency Rohtak since the year 2005. Every day, few pages of the booklet are shared which gives sector wise analysis of the works done.

One can see that being accessible to the people in his constituency and interacting with them every now and then has 
brought great results in reforming Rohtak. Launching new railway lines, establishing new universities and educational institutes, bringing world class research centres, construction of national highways, introducing schemes in the sports sector and many other notable initiatives are testaments to his efforts in changing the landscape of Haryana.

Putting Jhajjar on the world map


Haryana today is one of the most economically developed regions not only in India but also in South Asia. It has continued to experience sustained growth both in industrialization and agriculture under the present Haryana government. Congress MP, Shri Deepender Singh Hooda has been an active parliamentarian since the day he started his journey as a MP from Rohtak, and has been instrumental in formulating innumerable developmental projects for his constituency as well as Haryana as a whole. In 2010, Haryana added a great achievement to its credit when it became the only state in the country where the world’s first-of-its-kind Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership is going to be built.

Shri Deepender Singh Hooda is a proponent of nuclear energy and acknowledges that if India wants to maintain its current momentum of growth then there is no alternative to nuclear energy for India. According to him, scientists from across the globe would make new inventions related to nuclear energy at the Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership, which will be hugely beneficial and educative for our country. In January, 2014 Hon’ble prime minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh laid the foundation stone for the Global Centre of Nuclear Partnership in Jhajjar, Haryana and congratulated the Haryana government, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Shri Deepender Singh Hooda for making efforts and extending the full cooperation to the centre regarding the nuclear energy partnership and cancer institute.

It was actually Shri Deepender Singh Hooda who met the PM in Delhi in December and personally invited him to lay the foundation stone of the two important projects-The nuclear power plant at Fatehabad and Global Centre of Nuclear Partnership at Jhajjar. Also, the nuclear power plant to be set up at Fatehabad is the largest in the country which will produce around 2800MW of electricity.

The efforts of the Haryana government and Shri Deepender Singh Hooda have catapulted Haryana to be an international hub which is developed in every aspect.

Connecting Haryana


The road network of every country plays a very important role in developing the infrastructure of a country. It helps to stimulate the economy as well. The national highways connect capitals, ports, places of strategic importance of various states. A nationwide all weather roads in rural areas are also a critical link for progress. There is a link between rural connectivity and growth, education, employment and healthcare.  

Shri Deepender Singh Hooda is well aware that road transport is one of the most promising and powerful means for rapid industrialization and agricultural advancement in any state.  Realizing that there are still places in Haryana that are not adequately connected, he had urged the government for construction of new national highways. The new national highways to be constructed will be one from Meerut in UP to Narnaul in Haryana and another from Dwarka in Delhi to Jhunjhunu of rajasthan. Constructing these two highways is important as they would pass through various districts of Haryana and would further improve road transportation in the state. He had also called on Union minister for road transport and highways and met with the secretary, Union ministry of road transport and highways for presenting them with the charter of demands regarding the constructions of these highways. The MP is also excited about putting forth the demand for another important project namely four laning of Jhajjar-Farukhnagar (along with bypass)-Gurgaon.

 Shri Deepender Singh Hooda is involved in improving the rural connectivity also.  Earlier in Dec, 2013, he had expressed his gratitude towards Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh for approving the proposal of Padhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana under which 1100 km long new roads would be built in rural areas of Haryana. He had said that good quality of sampark roads in rural areas of the state would lead to overall development of rural areas as these roads facilitate the movement of raw material and finished industrial products from one place to another. With so many projects taking place, one can understand the dedication that Shri Deepender Singh Hooda has for the development of Haryana.
 His constant endeavors for the advancement of Haryana and its people have made Shri Hooda one of the most promising political leaders in the country.

Taking Forward the vision of Dr Ambedkar.


While addressing the public after unveiling the statue of Baba Ambedkar at a village in Rohtak in January, 2013, Congress MP Shri Deepender Singh Hooda had said that Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar had dreamt of an educated society and the present state government has been making every effort to realize his dreams. Around 18 lakh children in Haryana were given being given scholarship under the Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Scholarship Scheme. In the same event, Shri Hooda also said that the eight year tenure of the present government has ensured inclusive development in the state by implementing various schemes and programmes in all 36 biradaris.

Keeping in line with these claims by Shri Deepender Singh Hooda and taking the vision of Dr. Ambedkar forward, Haryana Government in February announced to provide Computer Tablets free of cost to scheduled cast (SC) students of diploma, under graduate or post graduate level of technical courses so as to provide them with greater learning opportunities outside the classroom as well. It will also facilitate the SC students to have access to the IT world and also attract them to pursue technical education.



The Computer tablets would be provided to SC students of government or government aided or private technical institutions like polytechnics, engineering colleges, MBA, MCA etc. colleges duly approved by the Haryana State Board of Technical Education or AICTE. The tablets would be distributed annually among the eligible beneficiaries. Around 45000 SC students is said to be going to be benefited by this programme.

Shri Deepender Singh Hooda and the Haryana Government consider education as a priority on the basis of which a civilized and egalitarian society is formed and hence, has always sought to link education with various development programmes. We appreciate the sincerity shown by the Government of Haryana to provide opportunities for those who have been kept at a disadvantage by the society for long, to ahead in life.

Haryana laps India’s first NCI


Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in India, with about 2.5 million cancer patients, 1 million new cases added every year. In 2013, an estimated 10,86,783 new cancer cases were reported and the numbers are slated to rise to 1148692 in 2015 — a jump of over 5.5 per cent in two years. Tobacco remains the most prominent disease causing factor.
But the facilities to treat cancer in India are still highly inadequate and what with the ignorance among public and delayed diagnosis, the disease has got the dubious identity of being a ‘killer disease’. Many people are unaware that, if detected earlier, cancer can be treated and an individual can lead a healthy life.

Shri Deepender Singh Hooda realized that the treatment for this disease is very costly for a country like India with most of the poor people unable to afford it and it can only be solved by enhancing the research and the treatment facilities in the country. He then started working on a proposal to set up National Cancer Institute (NCI) at All India institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) campus of Haryana and was later tasked with pursuing the Expenditure Finance Committee’s clearance of the National Cancer Hospital.

Deka as Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Rohtak Member of Parliament Deepender Singh Hooda look on after the inauguration of an outreach OPD of the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences at Badhsa in Jhajjar.

His efforts bore fruit in December last year when the Union Cabinet approved the proposal for setting up of NCI at AIIMS in Badhsa village of Jhajjar district. The approval would entail an expenditure of Rs 2,035 crore in the first phase and will provide world class healthcare facilities to the poor.  According to Shree Hooda, the mega project would be a land mark in the area of cancer research and shall lessen the deficit tertiary cancer care in the country.

We all think this is a great matter of pride for Haryana to be chosen as the only state in the country to house the first NIC. The people of Haryana would be forever grateful to Shree Deepender Singh Hooda and the Union Cabinet for their dedicated efforts.
