BJP-led govt has launched several developmental projects in Haryana: Khattar

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said the state government has launched several developmental projects and public welfare schemes in the last eight-and-a-half-years, benefits of which are being availed by the people.
The Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) scheme has been appreciated by many states and they have also shown interest in studying it, Khattar said while addressing a gathering after the inauguration of BJP’s newly constructed office ‘Karna Kamal’ in Karnal’s Sector 9.
The PPP, a family information data depository, is an e-governance scheme aimed at promoting paperless and faceless delivery of services to citizens, according to the state government.

Khattar said that on the basis of a survey done through the PPP, 12.50 lakh new BPL (Below Poverty Line) ration cards have been made in the state.
Continuing the state government’s tradition of celebrating the birth anniversaries of great men and sages, a state-level programme was held to celebrate Guru Gorakhnath Smriti Utsav, an official statement said.
During the programme, Khattar announced the establishment of a research chair at Baba Mast Nath University, Asthal Bohar, Rohtak in the name of Guru Gorakhnath, naming an educational institute after him
Khattar also announced the inclusion of the biography and teachings of Guru Gorakhnath in the school curriculum with the objective of making the younger children aware of the teachings of his teachings.
He said the government plans to honour the instrumentalists playing traditional musical instruments and is in the process of formulating a pension scheme.

“Our saints and great men have always played a significant role in removing social evils. Even today, their teachings hold relevance and for this reason, only ‘Sant Mahapurush Vichar Samman Evam Prasar Yojana’ has been launched,” he said.
“The Government plays a significant role in spreading the message of communal harmony and peace and teachings of saints and great men among the masses,” said Khattar.
Speaking at a party event, Khattar said that today the BJP has become the largest political party in the world whose number of active members is more than the total population of many countries.
He urged the party workers to take the policies and schemes of the government to the masses so that the people can get the benefits of these schemes.
He also said that to take feedback on development works and government schemes from the people, ‘Jan Samvad’ programmes have been started across the state.
On the occasion, former minister and BJP state president, O P Dhankhar, Gharaunda MLA, Harvinder Kalyan were also present.

Khattar announces bus service to Haryana village after elderly woman complains

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s visit on Wednesday to Thana in Kurukshetra has ensured that government buses now won’t skip the stop at the village.
During an interaction with Thana villagers as part of the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme, an elderly woman complained about buses not stopping there and Khattar took action, according to a government statement.
From now, Khattar said, at least eight buses from Pehowa and Kurukshetra depots would stop in the village and for the convenience of the villagers, the timings of the buses will be mentioned at bus stops.

The chief minister directed the Haryana Roadways general manager, Kurukshetra, to prepare a 12-hour route chart for the buses, and instruct the drivers and conductors to stop the buses on the fixed routes of Thana.
During ‘Jan Samvad’, two village residents told the chief minister that they were charged Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000 for treatment at private hospitals despite being covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
On this, Khattar ordered the civil surgeon, Kurukshetra to investigate the entire matter and take appropriate action.
Pehowa MLA and Minister of State for Printing and Stationery Sandeep Singh also attended the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme.
Interacting with people in Kurukshetra’s Barna village, Khattar said sarpanches must hold meetings of the Gram Sabha once in three months.

Khattar said the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme is the best medium to take feedback from the public and see if the benefits of government policies and schemes are reaching the people.
He also met members of self-help groups (SHGs) in the village.
There are nearly 30 SHGs in Barna.
In Kurukshetra’s Karah Sahib village, the chief minister said public welfare policies will be framed on the basis of suggestions received through ‘Jan Samvad’.
The new policies will be in accordance with the hopes and aspirations of the people, he said.
Khattar started the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme in Rohtak district last year. Later, the programme was organised in Sirsa, Sonipat, Karnal, Fatehabad, Bhiwani and Palwal districts.
His three-day ‘Jan Samvad’ programme in Kurukshetra district concluded on Wednesday.

Haryana working on Zero Drop Out policy, says CM Khattar

[ad_1]
Gurugram: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday said that the state government is implementing a Zero Drop Out policy to ensure that no child in the state remains out of school by next year.
“Taking this initiative ahead, about 48 lakh children in the age group of 6 to 18 years are being tracked to know the status of their education,” Khattar said while addressing the students, parents and teachers at the inaugural ceremony of Satya School in Sector 49, Gurugram.
He further said that under this scheme, two schools in each of the 135 blocks of the state i.e a total of 270 PM-SHRI schools will be opened by next year.

“Education will be imparted according to the National Education Policy in these schools. The government has set a target to implement National Education Policy across the country by 2030 but in Haryana, it will be fully implemented by 2025,” he said.
The Chief Minisyter said around 5.5 lakh digital tablets were distributed to the students of classes X to XII to connect the children of government schools with technology. On the other hand, education is being imparted through smart classrooms in government schools in Haryana, he added.
Rakesh Bharti Mittal, Chairman of Satya School said, “Our Children are the hope of a better, progressive and happy tomorrow. We believe that every child is a born star with infinite innate potential, and education is a means to unleash that potential. Aligned with the National Education Policy of India, our students will be nurtured in a holistic learning environment and equipped with skills to take on the challenges of the fast-changing world.”

CM Khattar expresses regret, withdraws remark on judge

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday expressed regret and withdrew his remark on a judge after it sparked a political row with opposition Congress dubbing the statement “an attack on the country’s judiciary”.
In a video posted by Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala on Sunday, Khattar could be heard assuring someone during a “Jan Samvad” programme in Bhiwani district that “Wo hal ho jaayegi, chinta mat karo. Ek judge hai…. (Your issue will be resolved, don’t worry. There is a judge…”
Khattar had made the remark on Sunday. He is currently on a visit to Bhiwani district where he is holding interaction with the villagers on their grievances.

Surjewala had claimed that Khattar made an objectionable remark against a high court judge and termed it “an attack on the country’s judiciary”.
“It is an attempt to influence the high court proceedings,” Surjewala had said, while condemning the CM’s remarks. He had demanded that the Chief Justice of India and the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court take cognisance of the matter and issue a contempt notice to Khattar.
He had also demanded that CM apologise to the judiciary for his remarks.
He claimed that Khattar was talking about the recruitment of constables in the Haryana Police over which a case is pending before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
With opposition training guns at Khattar over the remark, the chief minister said on Monday he believed the comment should not have been made.

“I respect courts of law. I immediately also said that whatever the courts rule is the final verdict and there is no doubt about that,” Khattar told a private channel in Bhiwani when asked about Surjewala’s tweet.
Khattar also said that things move forward by maintaining a balance among the judiciary, executive and legislature and the three organs work for the public welfare.
“It was a question pertaining to an inordinate delay. An examination took place, and the result was also announced, but a stay was imposed (by the court). Thus, an ‘Aswabhavik si tippani’ (uncharacteristic comment) came out. I also feel it should not have been made. Even if a thing might have reached a particular judge, I withdraw my words.
“But, I intended to say that thousands of people are affected due to this delay, and they are not getting adequate time for their training. Daily we are asked about this. In Sunday’s public meeting too, all such people who could not join their jobs also came… Thus, an uncharacteristic comment was made which I regret,” Khattar added.
Meanwhile, at a press conference here, when former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was asked the comment, he said said, “Those who are sitting in responsible positions should not speak irresponsibly”

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday said in the last eight years, the state government has brought many radical changes for good governance.
“Ensuring the reach of every welfare and public-centric scheme is the utmost priority of the state government. No department or sector has remained untouched by the IT reforms so as to ensure transparency,” he said while addressing a gathering at the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme at Baliali village in Bhiwani district.
He is currently on a visit to Bhiwani district where he is holding interaction with the villagers.

The chief minister said the entire Haryana is like his family and as the head of the family, he always tries his best to extend every possible help and cooperation to every member.
He said that during his tenure special focus has been given on development works and adequate funds have been ensured for the meticulous implementation of every development scheme.
During his interaction at another village in Bhiwani named Bapora, the chief minister announced that now there will be no need for verification of online ‘Fard’ (land record) copy from the Patwari (revenue official).
“Now, only online Fard copy will be valid and all institutions including banks will recognize online Fard,” he added. An order in this regard will be implemented in the entire state, he said, according to an official statement.
At Baliali, he said that the benefits of all the public welfare policies are being ensured to grassroots levels.
While interacting with the villagers, the chief minister said that they should compare the tenure of the previous governments with that of the present dispensation. The difference will be clearly visible in terms of development undertaken including infrastructure works.
At his ‘Jan Samvad’ programme at Tigrana and Dhanana villages, Khattar said the compensation for crop loss of farmers caused by the recent rains and hailstorms will be given by the government by May after getting Girdawari (field inspection) done.

He also visited the residence of boxer Nitu Ghanghas at Dhanana village in Bhiwani and extended greetings on her achievement for adding a world championship title to her name.
The chief minister said that several steps are being taken to groom talent in sports, which is why players of Haryana are bringing laurels at the world level.
He also visited the residence of Vir Chakra awardee Mathan Singh who was martyred in the 1965 war and met the family before holding the Jan Samvad programme in Bapora village, Bhiwani district.
The chief minister also met the families of four more martyrs. He said the people of the country are proud of such brave sons who laid down their lives for the nation.
“Haryana has been the land of brave soldiers,” he added.
“Whether it is war with China or Pakistan or fighting terrorists, these brave sons made supreme sacrifice for their motherland. Today, a strong India is being built because of the sacrifices of the brave soldiers..,” he said.
Bhiwani’s railway junction is named after Mathan Singh.
According to the statement, “Rifleman Mathan Singh was martyred in the Indo-Pak war of 1965 and was awarded with Vir Chakra. Bhiwani’s railway junction is named after him,” it said.
It further said Bapora is the village of martyrs and soldiers.
Former Army Chief, General V K Singh is also from Bapora village, who is currently a minister in the Central Government.

He also directed the officials that the entire record of the HSVP including the documents of the properties should be digitised.
The chief minister, who is also the chairman of HSPV, was presiding over the 125th meeting of the authority here, according to an official statement.
In the meeting, Khattar gave ex-post facto approval for the construction of multi-storey car parking and commercial complex by Faridabad Smart City Limited on about 4,000 square metre land in Sector-18A of Faridabad.

Not afraid of criticism, will keep introducing governance reforms: Haryana CM Khattar

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said his government is not afraid of criticism and will keep introducing governance reforms.
His comments came in the wake of opposition parties targeting the state government’s flagship Parivar Pehchan Patra (family ID) scheme and several sarpanches opposing the e-tendering system in development works in rural areas.
“We are not afraid of criticism, will keep introducing governance reforms. We took challenge of bringing changes in system. We will not be deterred by the opposition to our good works,” he said in his two-hour reply to the debate on the Budget in the state assembly.
The CM, who also holds the finance portfolio, had presented the state Budget for 2023-24 in the assembly last month.
The Budget was unanimously passed in the House after the chief minister’s reply on its estimates.
Khattar had on February 23 presented the Rs 1.83 lakh crore Budget, announcing many new initiatives while laying emphasis on various sectors especially social and agriculture and also proposed no fresh tax.
During his reply, Khattar announced that now MLAs can spend an amount of Rs 2 crore being given under the ‘Vidhayak Adarsh Gram Yojana’ for the development works in the urban areas as well.
“Earlier the MLA used to spend the said grant in rural areas only but now this amount can be used for the development works in the urban areas as well,” he said.

He also announced to rename this scheme as ‘Adarsh Nagar Evam Gram Yojana’. The director, panchayat will be the nodal officer for this, he said.
Khattar also announced that the women’s college to be constructed at Balsamand, Hisar will be named after former chief minister late Bhajan Lal.
He also said that apart from already announced 4,000 playway schools in the year 2022-23, an additional 4,000 such schools would be further opened in the state.
He took on Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who was not present in the House due to illness, saying the former CM has been giving contradictory figures about state debt.
The CM also touched upon steps taken for water conservation. Water table is going down every year, he said, while adding the government has started several schemes to conserve water.
During Khattar’s reply, some Congress members kept interrupting him on various issues.
He sought to clarify the definition of debt, and said that in the public debt three different heads are included. The Opposition should not confuse one with the other while calculating the final debt figures, he said.
The State Public Enterprises loan figure in 2014-15 was Rs 69,922 crore, while in the year 2021-22, the figure was Rs 47,211 crore. The debt graph of the state at present has declined, he claimed.
Khattar said Haryana is in the third position in the country in terms of investments after Karnataka and Maharashtra.
The chief minister said that for 2023-24, Rs 7,314 crore was allocated for agriculture and allied sectors, which is 3.9 per cent of the total Budget.
He stated that in 2014-15, the total allocated budget for this sector was Rs 2,156 crore which was only 3.4 per cent.
Responding to an issue raised by the Opposition regarding why Haryana gets less financial help from the Centre as compared to neighbouring states, the chief minister said the Centre follows the formula that “the more progressive a state is, lesser the financial grant will be”.
He said the government is focused on making panchayats and civic bodies financially independent. They have been directed to prepare their budgetary allocation and ensure the same is spent on carrying out various development works, he said.
Khattar also said that the local audit system would be meticulously implemented. Whatever public money will be spent on development works, local audit would be conducted for the same, said the chief minister.
He said that before finalizing the Budget, suggestions from all the stakeholders were taken, and out of around 700 suggestions, those which were feasible have been incorporated.

Once infamous for female foeticide, Haryana celebrates birth of every girl child now: Khattar

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday said that Haryana, which was once infamous for female foeticide, is now celebrating the birth of every girl child and today, there are 923 girls for every 1,000 boys in the state.
All this has become possible because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign which was launched in Panipat on January 22, 2015, he said.
“The state government, social organisations, khap panchayats, NGOs, and Education, Women and Child Development and Health departments have made tireless efforts to improve the sex ratio in Haryana. Besides, police ensured strict action against those involved in female foeticide.
“It is only because of these dedicated efforts that today there are 923 girls for every 1,000 boys in Haryana. In 2014, there were 871 girls for every 1,000 boys,” Khattar said.
Haryana, which was once infamous for female foeticide, is now celebrating the birth of every girl child, he said.
Speaking at a state-level ‘Samman Samaroh’ in Karnal, the chief minister honoured women who have made remarkable contributions in various fields like education, culture, defence, singing, medicine, social welfare, sports, aviation and mountaineering.
He honoured some women with the Sushma Swaraj Award, the Indira Gandhi Mahila Shakti Award and the Kalpana Chawla Shaurya Puraskar.
He also awarded cash prizes to the deputy commissioners of Fatehabad, Ambala, and Jind for the improvement of sex ratio in their districts, according to an official statement.

The representation of women in police has increased from 6 per cent in 2014 to 10 per cent today. The target is to take it to 15 per cent in the coming years, Khattar said.
“They say that behind every successful man, there is a woman. My mother has played a big role in my success,” he said.
He said after he cleared his matriculation exams and wanted to study further, his father did not support him but his mother gave him Rs 300 for his college admission.
“I dedicate my success to my mother. If she had not given me the money for further studies, then I might have not reached this position,” he added.
The chief minister also said that International Women’s Day should be celebrated as ‘Mahila Samman Diwas’.

Govt to extend all cooperation to Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee: Khattar

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: The Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee will manage the historic gurdwaras in the state and the government will extend all cooperation and assistance, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Wednesday.
“…If the Haryana Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee needs any cooperation from the (state) government, including construction of educational institutions and hospitals, it will be provided,” Khattar said.
Last year, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara (Management) Act, 2014, under which a separate committee was formed to manage gurdwaras in Haryana.
However, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee — the apex religious body of Sikhs — has rejected the committee.
Khattar was speaking after paying obeisance at Sri Thada Sahib Gurdwara in Yamunanagar, according to an official statement issued here.
Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee chief Baba Karmjit Singh felicitated Khattar with a ‘siropa (robe of honour)’.
During the occasion, Khattar also extended his greetings on International Women’s Day.

Bhiwani killings: ‘Even if burnt corpses of Junaid, Nasir..’, Owaisi slams Khattar

[ad_1]
On the recent horirifying incident in Haryana’s Bhiwani where two Muslim men from Rajasthan were allegedly kidnapped, lynched and burnt in a Bolero car, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday slammed Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar and asked if even the burnt corpses of Junaid and Nasir, the two dead victims couldnt wake up his conscience, it doesnt matter whether he is the chief minister or not.
“If your police are done with the meat of Biryani on Eid, then tell me when will the killers of Junaid-Nasir be arrested? When will those who spew venom in the Mahapanchayat go to jail? If even the burnt corpses of Junaid-Nasir could not wake up your conscience, then it is the same whether you are Chief Minister or not,” he said.
खट्टर साहब ने मामले के जाँच की ज़िम्मेदारी से अपने हाथ धो दिये हैं और पूरी ज़िम्मेदारी राजस्थान पुलिस पर थोप दिए हैं।जबकि क़त्ल हरियाणा में हुआ था। इससे ये साफ़ ज़ाहिर होता है कि हरियाणा की भाजपा सरकार, गौ-रक्षक गैंग को बचाने में लगी हुई है।
— Asaduddin Owaisi (@asadowaisi) February 22, 2023
Owaisi was referring to the Hindu Mahapanchayat that was organised by the main accused Monu Manesar’s supporters where an open threat to the Rajasthan police was issued.
One of the speakers said, “If the Rajasthan police dare to come and arrest Monu from his home, then we assure them that they will not go back in their two feet.”
“It is because of Monu and his people that Manesar is able to save cows for the last eight years. Had it not been for them, the village would have turned into a mini Pakistan,” the speaker added among cheers from the crowd.
The Mahapanchayat at Manesar’s Baba Bhimsa temple was attended by villagers who proudly regarded Monu as the ‘Pride of Hindus’.
Rajasthan police were openly threatened in the mahapanchayat being held in Manesar in support of Monu Manesar, but Haryana government and Haryana police are still silent.

“Khattar saheb has washed his hands off the responsibility of investigating the case and has put the entire responsibility on the Rajasthan Police. While the murder took place in Haryana. This clearly shows that the BJP government of Haryana is trying to save the cow vigilante gang.
Even before this incident, all these criminals were working under the protection of BJP government and Haryana Police. It is BJP’s policy to save the oppressor and not give justice to the oppressed. Dayar e yaar teri josh e junoon pe salaam Mere watan tere daman e tar tar ki khair,” he further tweeted.

इस हादसे से पहले भी ये तमाम मुजरिमीन भाजपा सरकार और हरियाणा पुलिस के संरक्षण में काम कर रहे थे। ज़ालिम को बचाना, मज़लूमों को इंसाफ़ ना देना यही भाजपा की नीति है।
दयार ए यार तेरी जोश ए जूनून पे सलाम
मेरे वतन तेरे दामन ए तार तार की ख़ैर।
