The Chief Minister announced that a 15 kW solar system would be installed at Guru Daksha ITI in Arya Nagar, Hisar, and a digital library would be constructed at the ITI. Moreover, a special pipeline will be used to address the drinking water problem.

He also approved a sum of Rs. 21 lakh for the construction of a shed at the Kumhar Dharamshala in Prem Nagar, Hisar. He said that the budget for the Haryana Matti Kala Board would be increased. Furthermore Nayab Singh announced the construction of the road from Sapra Hospital to the bypass Rajgarh Road, as well as the construction of a 6 km road from Talwandi Rukka village to Chanana village by the Haryana State Marketing Board in Hisar district.

He said that the remodeling work will be carried out from Burji number 11300 to 18600 tail of the Chaudhriwas sub-minor. In Fatehabad district, half an acre of land will be provided at 50 percent collector rate for the construction of Kumhar Dharamshala as per the policy, said the Chief Minister.

Addressing the gathering at the ceremony, the Chief Minister said that years ago, Prajapati Brahma created the universe with panchamahabhutas ? which inherit the properties of earth (prithvi), water (jala), fire (tejas), wind (vayu) and space (akasha). Bhagwan Brahma's son Daksha Prajapati used these elements to create pottery. Thus, Maharaja Daksha Prajapati was the first artist among humans, and potters are considered his descendants.

The Chief Minister said that the invention of the chaak further advanced the pottery art. Making pottery is not just an art but also reflects the artistic thinking, skill, and craftsmanship of Prajapati. He emphasized that in today's era of globalization, quality, skill, and art are of special importance. However, with the advent of plastic and glass utensils in the age of science, the demand for earthenware has decreased significantly.
