The MSP of millet (Bajra) has been increased from Rs 1,450 to Rs 1,950 which would bring prosperity to the farmers of the state, he said.
The Chief Minister assured the villagers that the government would take care of development of the village.
The work of building a bus shelter has already been awarded to the Bhiwani District Council. The Council which earlier got hardly Rs 1 crore grant has now been given Rs 18 crore for development works, he said.
ll developmental works would now be executed by the panchayats, panchayat samitis and zila parishads. Every village panchayat has been given Rs 50 lakh to Rs. 2-crore grant to carry out these works. And in future, this budget would be further increased, he added.
The Chief Minister assured the public that work on all announcements made by him would soon be executed. He urged the representatives to clear the payment of electricity bills of their respective villages.
He also applauded the panches and sarpanches of Padhi likhi panchayats for the success of campaigns like safety of women, Swachh Bharat etc, and told them to ensure that the level of education is raised.
