Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday said that providing good governance is one of the top most priorities of the present State Government and to achieve this objective, new arrangements have been made so that the people of the State get a corruption-free and transparent system.

Addressing the fourth batch of the Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associates (CMGGA) here, Khattar  said that resolving the grievances of the people tops the

priority list of the Government. “Government is always working to further improve the governance so as to make the life of the people more comfortable,” he said.

The Chief Minister said that it is the duty of each CMGGA to ensure that along with working with the system they should also work for the betterment of the society.  He said that connecting people with the government schemes is the most important task and this can only become possible when every person have the feeling of belongingness towards state and the country.

experiences with the Associates to motivate them to perform better.

Khattar said the Government is ensuring that the youth partake  and contribute in the  development and thus for this it is being ensured that each youth in the state gets employment.

He said the Government has brought qualitative changes in the field of education. Besides giving them education, the country’s first skill development university has been established in Palwal to make them capable and attain skills for getting employment.

He said that one of the biggest achievements is online transfer policy of teachers which is presently being followed by 12 states.
