Stating that majority of the schemes and services of the government are online now, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday said that the State government will organise orientation programme on IT related schemes and projects for the members of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha to ensure its strict implementation at the grassroot-level. This programme will be organised at 3 pm at Haryana Niwas on Tuesday.
An official spokesperson said that the information will be given to the MLAs regarding 14 IT projects. In this Orientation Programme information regarding Village Darshan, Nagar Darshan, CM Relief Fund Assistance for Medical Emergency, Mukhya Mantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana, Old Age Samman Allowance, Yellow Ration Card, Ayushman Bharat, Haryana Engineering Works Portal, Online Transfer Policy, Parivar Pehchan Patra, Caste Proof Information, Meri Fasal Mera Byora, e-kharid and Auto Appeal software will be provided to the MLAs by experts, he added.
Khattar said that today the world is moving towards the era of technology, so special attention has been paid to the field of Information Technology. Digital governance has emerged as an effective tool of good governance. Every citizen should get the benefits of government services. The Government wants to minimise involvement of people in government functioning by using technology. The government has taken a pledge to uplift the last person in the queue and is reaching out to such people, he added.
The Chief Minister further said there is a major decline with regard to involvement of people in the implementation of government schemes and programmes thanks to digital governance which has curbed corruption to a great extent in the State. At the same time, the administrative processes have gained momentum and the full benefits of the schemes have reached the eligible persons. Through IT, the government is ensuring corruption-free, transparent and accountable good governance.
“It is generally said that 'the thirsty goes to the well to quench his thirst' but now, the government will go to every person to ensure that the eligible beneficiary is able to avail the benefits of these schemes. Our aim is to strengthen the system,” Khattar added.
Khattar said, “Now, the people do not have to make rounds of government offices to avail the benefits of the welfare schemes. Many new initiatives of digital-governance have been taken by the government in every field like agriculture, industry, health, education, social security etc. to ensure maximum governance. There is no department or area left in the state in which digital governance has not been adopted.”
