Haryana CM Nayab Saini Launches Free HPV Vaccination Drive in Kurukshetra

February 28, 2026

Kurukshetra: Chief Minister Nayab Saini is visiting Kurukshetra today. He will launch a state-wide free HPV vaccination campaign to prevent cervical cancer in his Ladwa constituency. This campaign will protect adolescent girls from cervical cancer. Prior to this, the Chief Minister will inaugurate a two-day agricultural development fair.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women, caused primarily by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV vaccine prevents this infection and significantly reduces the risk of cancer. This campaign will vaccinate adolescent girls over the age of 14 and adolescent girls under the age of 15.

Vaccination Only After Parental Consent

Before vaccination, parents’ written consent will be obtained via OTP. After vaccination, a link will be sent to the registered mobile number, allowing downloading of a digital certificate. This special campaign will run for three months. Vaccinations will take place at district hospitals, community and primary health centers, as well as schools.

Two-Day State-Level Agricultural Fair

A two-day state-level agricultural development fair will begin today at the Ladwa grain market. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will inaugurate the fair. This fair is being held on a large scale for the first time in the state. It will feature agricultural and industrial exhibitions, displays of modern agricultural equipment, and information about new technologies for farmers.

Over 150 Stalls Set Up for Farmers

More than 150 stalls have been set up at this fair, showcasing improved seed varieties, modern farming equipment, and new agricultural techniques. Soil and water testing will also be conducted on farmers’ fields. Disease diagnosis and solutions, crop competitions, home science information, and question-and-answer sessions with agricultural experts will also be organized.
