Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday said that the State Government while using Information Technology is constantly working towards envisaging Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of transforming India through e-Governance thereby making the lives of the people of the State better by bringing various Good Governance reforms.
He said that in Good Governance reforms brought in by the State Government, such a systematic system has been developed under which people do not have to make frequent visits to headquarters in Chandigarh or the district offices to get their work done. They can take advantage of all the government schemes at the nearest Community Service Centre (CSC) in their village or online while sitting at their homes only.
Khattar said that the Parivar Pehchan Patra would be a strong document in moving towards the direction of good governance in the state, due to which it would be easy to fetch the benefits of the welfare services automatically. With this robust system now under the Old Age Samman Allowance, the pension of the beneficiary will start automatically. Now elderly people need not to apply anywhere as the pension automatically starts when one attains the age of 60. In the villages of the state, the work of generating the property cards under the Swamitva Yojana has been started by abolishing the old system of Lal Dora. Under this scheme, so far 13 lakh 47 thousand 609 people have Swamitva cards in the state.
He said that Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana has been started to bring the poorest of the poor into the mainstream. By strengthening the online system, the government started giving direct benefits to the beneficiaries under the DBT scheme. The government has created an online transfer policy and started giving jobs on the basis of merit to ensure complete transparency. These services were brought under the purview of the Right to Service Act to make the benefits of government services reach the public in a time bound manner. Now the accountability of the department and the officer has been fixed for not giving the benefit of the service on time. The Government started the Dial-112 scheme, due to which people are getting police help in just 15 minutes. Now, for the convenience of hearing and speaking people with disabilities, sign language experts will sit in dial-112 through video call and the police will help them after listening to their problems.
Khattar said the State Government is preparing development plans for Haryana keeping in view the Vision-2047. Many initiatives are being run in the state under the occasion of Amrit Mahotsav celebration. The state government has so far received about 150 awards for technology use. The Prime Minister has also praised the work being done in Haryana and the use of technology, which is a matter of pride for the people of the state. During the event Haryana Vidhan Sabha Speaker, Gianchand Gupta, Chief Secretary, Sanjeev Kaushal, Chief Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, D.S. Dhesi, ACS, PK Das, Commissioner Administrative Reforms Department Pankaj Agrawal, Additional Principal Secretary, Dr. Amit Agrawal and other senior officers were present.
MAKES MANY ANNOUNCEMENTS ON GOOD GOVERNANCE DAY
The Haryana Chief Minister made several announcements at the state level Good Governance Day programme. He said that the year 2022 would be celebrated as the year of good governance, Antyodaya Utthan. Similarly, the emergency response system Dial-112 will be made accessible to deaf and mute persons. Police assistance will be provided to them immediately after understanding their problem through a sign language expert through video calling.
He said online application process would be started in Rohtak and Panchkula for getting arms license under pilot project, in which the work of police verification would be brought under the purview of Right to Service Act. After successful implementation of this project, the process of arms license will be online in all the districts at the state level. Arms licenses will be issued for security and not for prestige. Khattar said that the Public Distribution System has been linked with the Parivar Pehchan Patra. Now from January-2022, there will be no need to carry ration cards to ration depots, but it will be possible to get ration only from Parivar Pehchan Patra cards. The account of addition or reduction of the number of family members will also be done through the parivar pehchan patra cards.
Birth-death registration with Parivar Pehchan Patra has been made mandatory and now marriage registration will also be linked with it in future. On this occasion, he announced the establishment of Atal Park and Samriti Kendra in the memory of former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Gurugram.
