Kurukshetra, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the GST reforms recently implemented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will benefit ordinary citizens in the state by ₹4,000 crore annually and will bring about a major transformation in the economic development of the state and the country. These GST reforms will not only provide relief to traders but will also simplify the lives of ordinary consumers. The key aspect is that citizens can now take advantage of lower GST rates and bring home indigenous products. These reforms will promote ease of doing business and bring transparency to business activities.

The Chief Minister presented each trader with a rose flower to raise awareness about the Goods and Services Tax Savings Festival and informed them about the reforms and reliefs provided in GST.

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini stated that the "GST Awareness Campaign" has been launched to disseminate information about the benefits and importance of GST reforms to the public and traders.

All public representatives will actively participate, visiting identified markets daily to inform shopkeepers and customers about the reforms.
