aryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday directly transferred  Rs 144.73 crore into the bank accounts of 3,882 beneficiaries under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana (DAYALU-I). A Government spokesperson said that this scheme, launched with the aim of providing socio-financial security to Antyodaya families, seeks to support those facing financial hardships due to the death or permanent disability of a family member. He said that under this initiative, since the scheme's inception, Rs. 763.69 crore has been disbursed to 20,399 eligible families, who applied through the portal, from April 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The amount is being directly transferred into their Aadhaar-seeded bank accounts through the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) platform.

The scheme provides financial assistance to families with an annual income of less than Rs. 1.80 lakh, as verified through the Family Information Data Repository (FIDR). The support is extended in the event of natural or accidental death, or permanent disability caused by an accident, for any family member. The families eligible for this scheme must have a Family ID/Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) number. He informed that the goal of the DAYALU-I scheme is to provide timely financial assistance and ensure social security to the eligible residents of Haryana, particularly in cases of untimely death or disability.

Approves Rs 147.88 Lakh for reconstruction of Syphon & Cross Regulator to boost water supply in Villages

The Chief Minister sanctioned Rs.147.88 lakh for the reconstruction of the Syphon and Cross Regulator at Banarsi Distributary. This initiative is aimed to resolve long-standing issues in water flow and benefit several villages in the region. The villages set to benefit from this project include Khanpur, Hebatka, Maroda, Kora Bas, Jhimrawat, Maroda Bas, Basi, Puthli, Jalalpur, Firjpur Dahar, Imamnagar, Mohammad Saral Aklimpur, Bukharaka, Bhadas, Karheri, Karkera, Jetaka Aklimpur, Rajaka, Uleta, Ghagas, Notki, Nagina, and others.

Due to the narrow mouth of the siphon at RD 15750, flowing debris often gets stuck, causing overflow in the canal and obstructing water from reaching the pump house. This also hampers the water supply to the tail ends of the canal, leaving farmers in downstream areas without sufficient water for irrigation. The reconstruction of the siphon will eliminate this bottleneck, ensuring a seamless water flow and preventing water wastage.
