Manohar Lal-led government today completed eight years in Haryana. Addressing a press conference in Delhi and presenting a report card he said that in these eight years, special focus has been laid on chalking out the three ‘C’ s, a strategy to uproot Corruption, Caste and Crime. Besides this, the emphasis has also been given on promoting 5S—Shiksha, Swasthaya, Suraksha, Swabhiman and Swavlambhan for ensure holistic development of Haryana.
He also released a booklet on the government’s achievements compiled by the Department of Information, Public Relations, and Languages. He said that in the last eight years, dozens of radical changes have been made in Haryana, but the introduction of Parivar Pehchan Patra is at the top of the eight highlights of his government.
The Chief Minister said, “Through this one of a kind umbrella scheme, while considering the family as a unit, benefits of all the welfare schemes, programmes and services being run by the State Government are being given on a single platform. Today, all the welfare schemes are being linked to PPP,”
He further added, “Automatic disbursal of pension benefits is being ensured through PPP. As soon as a person attains the pension age, the pension automatically starts through PPP. Besides this, the work of making yellow ration cards is also being done through PPP. Initially, this scheme has been started on a pilot basis in the districts of Sirsa and Kurukshetra. He said that in the first phase of Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Abhiyan, a target has been set to identify about 2 lakh such poor families having an annual income of less than 1 lakh. After identification, the government has set a target to increase the family income of such families by up to Rs.1 lakh.
The Chief Minister said that while focusing on maximum governance and minimum government, 572 services and schemes from 42 departments have been made available online on Antyodaya Saral Portal. This step has not only reduced human intervention in providing government benefits but also ensured that the benefits reach the grassroot level.
He said, “As many as 12 lakh complaints were received on the CM window alone, out of which 90 per cent were resolved. Not only this, but with the successful implementation of the Teachers Transfer Policy, the age-old system of “pick and choose” was completely eliminated. This transparent transfer system started by teachers has now been implemented in other departments as well. The online transfer policy has been implemented in 214 cadres, with more than 80 posts in 43 departments’
He also said that Haryana has emerged as the country’s sports hub in the last few years. Haryana gives maximum cash prizes to medal-winning sportspersons. The government has ensured the jobs of medal winning players. 550 posts have been reserved annually for the medal winners, which will be increased in the coming time.
