Students should realize the vision of developed India: Haryana CM
He felicitated over 275 students at the Medhavi Chhatra Samman Samaroah in Panchkula. The students had excelled in various streams at the state and district levels and encouraged them to continue striving for excellence.
'The Haryana Government is continuously working to bring structural reforms in the field of education. In the past ten and a half years, significant progress has been made not only in school education but also in higher education,' CM Saini said according to an official statement.
He said that under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Haryana's double-engine government has been working towards establishing medical colleges in every district to ensure better healthcare facilities and address the shortage of doctors in the state.
'Medical colleges have already been established in 15 districts, and work is underway in the remaining districts. With the aim of promoting higher education among girls, the Haryana Government has set up degree colleges within a 20-kilometre radius across the state so that girls do not have to travel far for their studies,' he added.
Giving special encouragement to Scheduled Caste students, he said that the Haryana Government has decided to give special recognition to meritorious students. He said that students belonging to Scheduled Castes who score more than 90 per cent marks in Class 12 will be awarded a cash prize of Rs 1,11,000.
Describing children as the future of the nation, he said that it is essential to ensure their holistic development through both education and values, as only then will they be equipped to face life's challenges with courage.
He said that the state is making concrete efforts in the area of early childhood education as well. There are 4,081 Anganwadis operating within school premises across the state, reflecting a strong commitment to foundational learning.
Saini said that over the past ten and a half years, numerous steps have been taken to bring about change and progress in the field of education. Several welfare schemes have been launched for students, with a strong focus on enhancing infrastructural facilities in schools. Ensuring quality education remains one of our top priorities. To achieve this, schools are adopting innovative methods such as playful teaching, project-based learning, continuous evaluation, and the integration of new technologies.
MLA Shakti Rani Sharma, Panchkula Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal, Chairman Haryana School Education Board Dr. Pawan Sharma, former Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta, BJP District President Ajay Mittal, along with various dignitaries, parents, and teachers of meritorious students were also present on this occasion.

'Sometimes, even trustworthy people are unable to understand the situation and make statements on it. Chirag Paswan is a good leader of the NDA… The person whose name you are taking has some shortcomings, and before making any statement, it is important to understand the entire situation by looking at the past, present and future… He has some shortcomings, due to which fingers are being raised at the NDA," he said. #WATCH | Delhi | Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi says, '…Sometimes even trustworthy people are unable to understand the situation and make statements on it.

Fake tax deductions: What taxpayers must know as I-T Dept launches raids
The Income Tax (I-T) Department has launched nationwide raids at over 200 locations to crack down on fraudulent tax deduction claims, targeting individuals and intermediaries allegedly helping taxpayers inflate deductions under the old tax regime, including bogus political donations, tuition fees, and medical expenses, news agency ANI reported on Monday. 'The Income Tax Department is conducting raids in connection with false deductions of political donations. This action comes after the Department found several bogus bills claimed by several intermediaries under 80GGC,' ANI posted on its X handle. 'Searches were also underway in connection with bogus medical expenses and tuition fees. Raids were underway on more than 200 locations,' ANI reported, quoting sources. Misuse of paperless filing flagged Authorities pointed out that the shift to paperless filing of income tax returns has made it easier for some taxpayers to inflate deductions, assuming they would escape scrutiny. However, recent initiatives such as the I-T Department's 'NUDGE' campaign flagged suspicious claims and encouraged taxpayers to revise their returns before facing penalties. Why political donations are under scrutiny Tax deductions for political donations, allowed under Section 80GGC of the Income Tax Act, are a key focus. These deductions enable individuals to reduce their taxable income if contributions are made to registered political parties or electoral trusts. 'The Income Tax Department flags political donations to ensure transparency and prevent misuse of tax benefits,' said SR Patnaik, partner (head – taxation), Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas. 'Taxpayers are required to submit valid proofs of payments and receipts to substantiate donations. In case of unsubstantiated claims, it may lead to further scrutiny and penalties.' Should you rely on AI tools? The department's recently launched TaxAssist AI tool has also been in focus, but experts caution against over-relying on it. 'The tool is new and its performance hasn't been tested extensively. Taxpayers may still need to consult a professional, especially in complex cases.' said Patnaik What should taxpayers do? Experts suggest to- Maintain proper records: Bank statements, transaction proofs, and receipts are critical. Avoid cash contributions: Only digital or banking channels qualify for deductions. Be cautious of intermediaries: Don't engage agents who offer to 'arrange' deductions. Respond to notices promptly: Use TaxAssist for guidance, but seek professional advice if needed. Tax experts advise taxpayers to file honest returns and avoid taking shortcuts that could lead to prosecution.
