The impact of new reforms introduced by the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab is now being acknowledged beyond the state’s borders. AAP leader Anurag Dhanda has repeatedly cited the state’s progress—from agriculture and education to healthcare and industry—calling it a practical governance model for other states to follow.
Agriculture to Industry: The Expanding Reputation of the Punjab Model
During the recent floods that damaged crops across Punjab, the Mann government announced per-acre compensation for affected farmers. Dhanda praised this approach and even recommended Haryana to replicate this model, calling it a sensitive and realistic way to support farmers in crisis.
Education & Healthcare: Major Improvements Recognised
Dhanda credits CM Bhagwant Mann’s leadership for bringing visible changes across key sectors:
- Better-quality education in government schools
- Expanded healthcare facilities
- Quick response to farmer-related issues
- Significant upgrades in transport and industrial sectors
These reforms, according to him, represent the core of the “Punjab Governance Model.”
Flood Relief Policy Brings National Attention
The decision to offer immediate financial relief to farmers has further strengthened Punjab’s image as a state with compassionate governance. Dhanda believes such steps can rebuild rural economies and restore farmers’ confidence if adopted nationwide.
Inspiration for Other States
Dhanda often reiterates that the progress seen in Punjab today is worth observing closely. In his words:
“The Mann government’s policies are not just for Punjab—they present a stronger, modern model for the entire country.”
