Enumerating the achievements of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) - led Government, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday said that the Government has succeeded in removing the ‘kharchi-parchi’ system in government recruitments in the State and only eligible candidates have got jobs on the basis of merit.
Addressing a gathering at a programme in Surajkund, Khattar alleged that during the tenure of the previous governments, children of poor families could only dream of getting into government jobs. At that time, to get a job, one had to resort to the parchi-kharchi system, so the dreams of the youth always remained unfulfilled. But our government ended this system as soon as it came to power. After that the officers who used to recommend jobs according to their wish, were also abolished. “We started Mission Merit by ending the practice of interviewing in recruitments. Now government recruitments are being done only on the basis of merit,” Khattar added.
The Chief Minister said, “After coming to power, we laid emphasis on e-governance to remove the ongoing corruption in the system. To pave the way for good governance through e-governance, we not only focused on developmental projects but also did many system transformation works. The state government made sure to provide the schemes and services of every department through an online medium. Today, the financial benefits given to the beneficiaries under various schemes and services of the central and state governments are being deposited directly to their bank accounts. This not only brought transparency in the system but also eliminated middlemen. As a result the state government has saved Rs. 1,200 crore by curbing corruption.”
He said that since the old age pension has been linked with the PPP, the pension of old persons is being generated automatically through online mode on attaining the age of 60 years. Apart from this, the work of making ration cards on the basis of income through PPP is also going on. In the last 3 months, about 80,000 ration cards have been made.
