After unfurling the National Flag during the 74th Republic Day celebrations in Yamunanagar, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday said that in the last more than eight years, the state government has done the work of instilling new hope among its citizens by bringing radical changes in the system while working with a new vision of maximum governance minimum government.
"We have focused on the upliftment and welfare of every individual, as a result of which the graph of the Ease of Living and Happiness Index is continuously rising in the state," said Khattar.
Sending a strong and clear message to those who call ‘Manohar Sarkar’ a government of portals, the Chief Minister said, “We have ensured the maximum use of IT in governance so as to minimize human intervention. The result of this is that today people are getting government services, schemes and other benefits at their doorstep.”
“Our government is often called the ‘government of portals’. I am proud of being called the ‘government of portals’, through these portals we have introduced paperless and faceless governance in Haryana. During our tenure, we have launched more than 100 apps and portals that have ensured transparency in the distribution of benefits of schemes and services. Now every eligible person is getting their benefits, while the ineligible ones are being identified,” said Khtattar.
He said that it is only because of the portal system that today the benefits of Shagun Yojna, old age pension, and scholarships of students are being directly reached to the accounts of the beneficiaries with just one click.
“The subsidy to the farmers for buying fertilizer, seed, machinery subsidy, crop compensation, and crop purchase money is also being directly transferred into the accounts of the farmers. Besides this, it is only because of these IT reforms that now the farmers do not have to make rounds of the offices of the Patwaris to get the Fard (Jamabandi) for their land. Now they can get the same with just one click. Youth wishing to go abroad can also upload the necessary documents online while sitting at home to get their passports,” asserted Khattar.
Khattar said, “we are following the basic mantra of Sabka-Saath Sabka-Vikas Sabka-Vishwas Sabka-Prayas and Antyodaya Darshan of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay. The government has made equal development of every region and every class. Special priority has been given to the socio-economic and educational upliftment of poor people.”
“In the last more than eight years, the government has made a strong attack on 3C-Corruption, Casteism and Crime. Along with this, emphasis has been laid on promoting 6-S i.e. Education, Health, Security, Self-Reliance, Self-Respect and Good Governance have been kept paramount. The year 2023 is being celebrated as Antyodaya Arogya Varsh,” said Khattar.
He said that the State Government aims to open a medical college and 200-bed hospital in every district. An adequate number of schools and a college has been opened under the cluster-based approach. To strengthen the economic condition of every region, clusters of small and medium-scale industries are being established at the block level. Clean drinking water is being made available in every household, said Khattar.
