Getting and adding on the trust of people is the biggest achievement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the recent electoral successes of BJP were reflection of this trust, Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar, said here.
Elaborating on Modi Government’s achievements of 3 years, Javadekar said the BJP had succeeded in not only winning the trust of the people but the steps initiated by it had brought about a thorough change in the process of administration throughout the country. He said the Government had been able to convert people’s hope into confidence and the Modi Government had worked for development of all.
He said the Modi Government had gained in terms of enjoying trust of the people and the country had witnessed corruption free administration in last three years and inflation had come down due to transparency in the administration.
Touching upon the coal scam, Javadekar said putting a curb on corruption had been the aim of this Government, and that was why it decided to allocate all mines through auction. He said the Government had gained revenue of Rs 3.25 thousand crore through auctioning coal blocks and this amount would be distributed in the coal generating States.
Talking on the prestigious project of Modi Government to provide house to 6 crore poor in the country, Javadekar said the Government had aimed to provide 6 crore houses to poor by 2022 and the work had already started on it.
listing welfare measures taken by the Modi Government, Javadekar said labour wages had been increased by 42 per cent in last three years and a number of welfare schemes were initiated for farmers. He said the wages of the contract labour was being transferred directly in their bank accounts and the role of middle man had been completely erased.
Javadekar, who chaired a meeting of National Institute of Technology said, all the 3,000 vacancies of teachers in NITs would be filled within a year. Talking on improving education at school level, Javadekar said the Government was going to introduce retention policy again and students, who didn’t show required results in fifth class exams in March, would be given second chance in June, but if they didn’t qualify, then they would be retained in the previous class.
Blaming the State Government for delay in setting up of the twin campus of the central university at Dehra and Dharamshala, Javadekar said the State Government had not deposited the CAMPA fund in time. He said Himachal Government was just serving formalities and the process of setting up Central University would be sped up after the BJP takes over reins of Government in the hill State.
