Haryana Deputy Chief Minister, Sh. Dushyant Singh Chautala, stated that the state government has implemented various welfare schemes to enhance the well-being of farmers, labourers, and workers. He mentioned that development initiatives are underway in villages, akin to urban areas, with mines being renovated to provide water to the tail end. Additionally, he noted that approximately Rs. 500 crore will soon be received under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana to settle pending compensation for farmers, ensuring their peace of mind.
Sh. Chautala addressed public grievances in the villages of Mandhana, Sui, Nathuwas, Kharak, and Sai in Bhiwani district on Monday.
Responding to villagers’ demands for new road construction, pond development, and cemetery maintenance, the Deputy Chief Minister highlighted ongoing government efforts under the Shiv Dham Yojana. This includes constructing sheds in all village muktidhams, erecting boundary walls, and providing adequate drinking water facilities. He also directed the inclusion of Mandhana village pond in the Amrit Sarovar Yojana for renovation.
Emphasising the importance of education in children’s lives, Sh. Chautala mentioned the establishment of e-libraries in villages to facilitate easy studying for competitive exams. Additionally, he noted security camera installations for safety and various developmental projects such as gym construction and lighting installations.
The Deputy Chief Minister emphasised the government’s commitment to improving systems, citing initiatives like the Bhavantar Bharpayee Yojana and Fasal Bima Yojana. He highlighted the benefits for farmers, such as direct selling of crops from fields and expedited payment transfers to their accounts within 48 hours.
He said that the government has implemented a special plan to address the issue of waterlogging in fields due to rain in the state. This initiative has brought significant relief to farmers in many villages such as Bawani Khera, Mundhal, Dhanana, Talu, Tigadana, Mitathal, Chang, Gujrani, Mandhana, Jatu Lohari, Pur, Kharak, Kalinga, and others. The arrangement of water drainage has been made by laying pipelines. He said that all formalities will be completed for the reconstruction of roads before the implementation of the Adarsh Aachar Sanhita. This will initiate the work on the remaining roads in the state, including those in the Bhiwani district.
He said that people can now access online facilities, including benefits of pension schemes and ration cards, from the comfort of their homes. The government has made 600 government services available online. As a result, people can avail government services near their homes through CSC centres, and the government has also ensured transparency in the services.
