Chandigarh, March 18
Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that an amount of Rs 150 crore will be transferred to the accounts of approximately 70,000 beneficiaries who have been verified so far, for the construction of houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, by the 20th of this month.
The Chief Minister made this statement in response to a question raised by MLA Shishpal Keharwala during the ongoing budget session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha here today.
The Chief Minister informed that under the scheme, 70,000 beneficiaries have registered on the portal and these registrations have been verified by the department. A total of Rs 150 crore will be transferred to their accounts by the 20th of this month.
He further stated that the department has created a portal to facilitate the provision of housing for the poor in the state, where applicants are verified after registration. If anyone has the guarantee of providing houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, it is Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi, he added.
Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the state government is committed to provide better higher education opportunities to the youth, particularly to daughters across the state. For this purpose, the government has established colleges within a 20-kilometer radius across the state. If there are any issues with the roads leading to these institutions, they will be promptly repaired.
The Chief Minister made these remarks in response to a question raised by MLA Raghuvir Tewatia during the ongoing budget session in the Haryana Assembly here today.
Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that injustice was done to the youth during the police inspector recruitment in 2008 under the Congress government, which is a matter of concern. He said that the Punjab and Haryana High Court, in its judgement, had expressed its concerns about the recruitment process followed at that time.
The Chief Minister made these remarks in the House while speaking on the issue of nepotism in recruitment during Congress rule raised during the zero hour of the ongoing budget session in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha here today.
He highlighted how the top performing candidates were sidelined and not recruited, while others were selected. He also said that during the recent assembly elections, the youth were misled by the Congress leaders with promises that if they provide 50 votes, they would secure a job.
