Taking a jibe at the IAS officers-AAP Government standoff in Delhi, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal on Thursday said that politicians and Government officers in Haryana are working as a family for the betterment of people and we do not want to create a Delhi like situation in the State.
The Chief Minister was speaking at one-day training programme on “Citizen Centric Administration and Good Governance” at Haryana Institute of Public Administration (HIPA) in Gurugram.
He was referring to the alleged assault on the Delhi Chief Secretary following which bureaucrats had refused to resume work under the AAP Government in the national Capital.
While addressing the IAS and HCS officers, Manohar lal said that at present, 281 Government to Citizen (G2C) services are being provided online to the people of Haryana through SARAl portal and these would be increased to 387 from the month of April, 2018. With this, people would be able to get the benefit of Government schemes at home, said he.
He also asked the officers to deliberate upon to find ways for making the people more prosperous and also work towards the same. A good governance is one where the people are not required to plead before the Government for the services which actually are their right, he added.
The Chief Minister said that today being an era of Information Technology (IT), such a system should be evolved through which the people could get all their work done in the offices in their very first visit.
He further said that during the present State Government, various services have been linked to IT and the people are also benefitted from the same. With an aim to make lives better at block level, 47 blocks have been adopted by top IAS, IPS and IFS officers. The officers doing outstanding work in these blocks would also be rewarded, he added.
While referring to the online teachers transfer policy of the State Government, he said that one has to take risk for taking hard decisions to change the system and we have done it.
The Chief Minister added that to ensure the benefit of various government schemes and programmes upto the last man in the queue, ‘Antyodya Seva Kendras’ would be set where benefit of more than 300 schemes would be made available under single roof from April this year.
On this occasion, he also laid the foundation stone of a multi-storeyed residential project for HIPA employees to be constructed in Sector-45 at a cost of about Rs 32 crore. This complex will be developed in about 1.5 acres and would have 56 residential apartments and other utilities. The construction will be carried out by Haryana Police Housing Corporation.
Chief Secretary, DS Dhesi and Director General, Bureau of Indian Standards, Surina Rajan also spoke on this occasion.
