Thursday, 20 June 2024 | PNS | Chandigarh

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday launched two new schemes during a state-level Shramik Jagrukta Evam Samman Samaroh in Jind. On the occasion, he disbursed Rs 79.69 crore directly into the accounts of 1,02,629 workers under 18 schemes. The list of new initiatives launched by the Chief Minister includes Mukhyamantri Shramik Panjikaran Protsahan Yojana, providing an incentive of Rs 1100 to workers upon registration. Besides this, under the Kanyadan evam Vivah Sahayata Yojana, workers will receive Rs 1 lakh 1 thousand for their daughters' weddings, with 75 percent of the amount being provided three days before the wedding. State Industries and Commerce and Labour Minister Mool Chand Sharma was present.

The Chief Minister said that he had directed the officers to prepare a list of workers who had not received any benefits due to any reason and to release benefits to all simultaneously. Today, benefits totaling Rs. 15.07 crore were disbursed directly into the accounts of 42,166 women for sewing machines, Rs. 9.95 crore for 19,925 workers under the cycle scheme, Rs. 15.90 crore to 19,880 workers for purchasing tools, Rs. 2.96 crore for education of 3,068 children of registered workers and Rs. 7.23 crore for purchasing e-scooters for 1,446 children received under the Electric Scooter Scheme.

Furthermore, financial assistance of Rs. 12.18 crore was deposited into the accounts of 1,206 workers under the Kanyadan evam Vivah Sahayata Yojana, scholarships totaling Rs 1.25 crore were given to 379 meritorious children of registered workers under the Scholarship Scheme, and financial assistance of Rs. 7 lakh was deposited into the accounts of 34 workers under the Financial Assistance Scheme for their son's marriage. Besides these, several crore rupees of benefits were also provided under other schemes, said Saini.

The Chief Minister announced that under the Mukhyamantri Tirtha Darshan Yojana, the workers will also get an opportunity of Ayodhya darshan. He said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ‘Double Engine ‘Sarkar are consistently delivering benefits of schemes to citizens. Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has worked to develop every individual equally in the state over the past 10 years, ensuring today that the benefits of schemes reach the accounts of workers through the portal.

Criticizing the Opposition, Saini said that Congress leaders claim that if they come to power, they will close the portals started by the present government. When Congress leaders talk about closing these portals, it reminds people of corruption, because during Congress' government, workers did not receive benefits, but the present state government has ensured that benefits reach every section through the portal. He said, “Over the past decade, our government has provided benefits to workers under the Ayushman and Chirayu Scheme. The Congress government talked about giving plots to people, but neither did they give possession of plots nor did they provide any documents to them. However, our government has identified all such individuals and provided them with 100-100 square yards plots along with possession certificates. Additionally, for those villages where land is not available, an amount of Rs. 1 lakh will be transferred in their accounts to purchase plots.” He said that Congress misled voters, whereas our government has worked to ensure that the benefits of schemes reach every person.

He said, “Our government is making strong decisions in favor of the poor, which has increased people's trust in Prime Minister Modi and our double-engine government.”

During the same event, Saini inaugurated the newly constructed International Guest House at Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University, Jind. The construction cost of this guest house amounts to Rs 19.20 crore.

During the inauguration, the Chief Minister said that the government is actively pursuing development across various sectors. The newly constructed guest house within the university campus will prove to be highly beneficial. He underscored the increasing demand for facilities in fields like healthcare and education, affirming the government's commitment to meeting these needs. The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the guest house will serve as a pivotal milestone in the university's progress.
