Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal on Monday said that adoption of digitisation system has not only helped in speedy execution of works and ensure more transparency in delivery of various people centric services, but has also kept a check on corruption.
Manohar lal was speaking at a function organised under Digital India campaign where he also flagged off two mobile vans with slogan “Mili Meri Pragati Ko Raftar” inscribed on them. These vans would be taken to rural areas across the state over the next six months to disseminate information regarding e-Governance schemes through audio visual tools.
The Chief Minister said that with a view to ensure that farmers, the poor and labourers are also benefited from various Government schemes and programmes, these two vans would cover rural areas in the State to spread awareness about various welfare schemes of the Central and State Government through publicity material, audio-visual tools, speeches and ‘Nukad Nataks’. While one van started from Panchkula, the other started from Sirsa and these vehicles would cover the State in six months.
While underlining the significance of digitisation in keeping a check on corruption, Manohar lal said that a survey revealed that as a result of linking of Ration Cards with Aadhar Card, five lakh families, out of total 11.5 lakh families, have been detected as using both kerosene and lPG though they are entitled for either of the two under the Public Distribution System.
