Haryana is geared up to become the first State in the country to hoist tricolour at every house, Government, private, industrial and educational buildings. For three consecutive days every corner of the State of Haryana will be decorated with a tricolour to proudly remember the glorious history of India, under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign being celebrated countrywide from  August 13 to August 15, 2022.

Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal while presiding over the state-level meeting regarding this campaign with the Administrative Secretaries, Deputy Commissioners and Vice Chancellors held through video conferencing here today directed them to ensure the supply of tricolour till the last mile. 

“Har Ghar Tiranga’ is certainly a unique campaign, as it envisages  Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s dream of invoking the feeling of patriotism among the citizens along with promoting awareness about the national flag. Therefore Haryana has to play a pivotal role in this campaign”, said Sh. Manohar Lal. 

While calling upon the NGOs and social organisations to ensure their active participation, Sh. Manohar Lal said that Har Ghar Tiranga holds special importance for every citizen, hence maximum participation is expected.

“We have not got the freedom over the night,  we have earned it after several supreme sacrifices. Therefore in this campaign, maximum participation should be ensured and the campaign should not be limited to the hoisting of tricolours at homes only, rather than every possible effort should be made to paste the tricolours on vehicles.  This campaign should be celebrated as a national festival,” said Sh. Manohar Lal. 

Ensure maximum participation in this  campaign with the ‘Nation First, Always First’ mantra’

Calling upon the people of the state, especially the Youth to enthusiastically participate in this campaign, Sh. Manohar Lal said that every Haryanvi has to move forward with the ‘Nation First, Always First’ mantra’.

He said that during this entire campaign it is the utmost duty of everyone to respect the tricolour.

The Chief Minister further directed that a nodal team of various departments should also be constituted. Political institutions should also be involved in the house-to-house distribution of the Tricolour. 

Create a buzz among the masses with marathon or rallies

He said no stone should be left unturned to ensure that this campaign should emerge as a ‘Jan Andolan’.

“Every Deputy Commissioner should set a target of how many flags are needed in their respective districts, along with ensuring smooth house-to-house supply,” said Sh. Manohar Lal. 

Dedicated portal to be developed for this campaign 

A portal will be developed and all the information related to this campaign will be uploaded on this portal. The government offices and NGOs will also upload their requirements about the flags.

Kharchi-Parchi system has ended in Haryana: Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar

Leave a comment

IEP CHANDIGARH JULY 15, 2022

Since the formation of the Bharatiya Janata Party government in the year 2014, the Haryana government has been continuously working for public welfare. The resolution taken by our government to bring good governance in Haryana on the occasion of Good Governance Day on December 25, 2014, is being fully realized today, because the benefits of public welfare policies of the government are reaching the last man standing in line. Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal said this while addressing the gathering at a programme of the organization in Surajkund today, during which he enumerated the achievements of the Haryana government. He said that the biggest example of this is the removal of kharchi-parchi system in government recruitments in Haryana. He said that only eligible candidates have got jobs on the basis of merit.

Sh. Manohar Lal said 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.

He said that during the tenure of the previous governments, the kind of disturbances in government recruitment was known to all. Not only this, most of the recruitments got canceled from the court, but not a single government recruitment has been canceled from the court during our tenure.

Rs. 1,200 crore saved through transparency

The Chief Minister said that 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 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.

Parivar Pehchan Patra proving milestone

Sh. Manohar Lal said that our government is working with the spirit of Antyodaya. Therefore, the state government has started an ambitious scheme called Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP), under which the poor families have to be identified and financially uplifted and  brought into the mainstream. Today, people are getting the benefits of all government schemes through PPP sitting at home and do not have to make rounds of government offices.

The Chief Minister 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 card on the basis of income through PPP is also going on. In the last 3 months, about 80,000 ration cards have been made.

Our real goal is to start with the last person in line

The Chief Minister said that the aim of the government is to uplift the last person standing in the queue. Whoever is eligible will definitely receive benefits, but the poor person will get the benefit of government schemes first.

For this purpose, Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana has been started. Under this, Antyodaya Melas were organized and families with an annual income of less than Rs. 1.80 lakh were identified and invited to the fairs. To provide employment opportunities to the members of these families and to start self-employment, loan facility is being given under various schemes. He said that the target of the state government is to make the annual income of these families at least Rs 1.80 lakh.

4000 करोड़ की पंजाबी फिल्म इंडस्ट्री में ट्राइसिटी व हरियाणा के  टैलेंटेड  युवाओं  को  फिल्मों में काम के लिए प्लेटफार्म प्रदान करने के उद्देश्य से हाई टेक मिट्स   एंटरटेनमेंट  एंड  डिजिटेक पंचकूला में लांच ।

हाल ही में उच्चा पिंड फ़िल्म व अफसाना खान के गाने पर जबरदस्त परफॉर्मेंस देने वाली एक्ट्रेस पूनम सूद ने कहा कि हमारे क्षेत्र में प्रतिभाओं की कमी नहीं है लेकिन मुंबई जाकर स्ट्रगल करने की क्षमता सभी युवाओं में नहीं होती खासकर लड़कियों में ;  उनके लिए एमके भाटिया का यह प्रयास सराहनीय है और ऐसे प्रयासों की ट्राइसिटी को बहुत ज्यादा आवश्यकता काफी समय से थी । 

मिट्स एंटरटेनमेंट व डिजिटेक के फाउंडर डायरेक्टर एमके भाटिया ने कहा कि फार्मा इंडस्ट्री में ट्राइसिटी के युवा ब्रिगेड के साथ पिछले 10 वर्षों से हिट पारी खेलने के बाद अब वह एंटरटेनमेंट व  डिजिटल वर्ल्ड में पदार्पण करने जा रहे हैं । भाटिया  का कहना है कि वह शुरू से युवाओं की प्रतिभाओं के कायल रहे हैं व  जैसे वह अपनी हर कंपनी में उन्हें भागीदारी देकर उनके साथ  कंधे से कंधा मिलाकर चलते हैं वैसे ही एंटरटेनमेंट इंडस्ट्री में भी युवाओं की भागीदारी खास रहेगी । 

चंडीगढ़ में लगभग सात साल पहले 2004 में भी  फिल्म सिटी की परियोजना बनी थी और विवादों में घिरी यह परियोजना के रद होने के कारण 2014 में भी  प्रशासन के अधिकारी शहर में फिल्म सिटी के लिए सांसद के आग्रह को न स्वीकार कर पाये। 

भाटिया दरअसल चंडीगढ़ के शहर के युवाओं को लेकर फिल्म सिटी का सपना संजोए बैठे हैं और वह चाहते हैं कि मुंबई जाकर स्ट्रगल करने की बजाय चंडीगढ़ के युवाओं को यही फिल्मों का पूरा प्रोफेशनल माहौल मिले और युवा यहीं पर अपना सफल करियर बनाएं ।

भाटिया ने कहा कि उन्होंने हरियाणा के सी एम व चंडीगढ़ के प्रशासक के सलाहकार को भी फ़िल्म सिटी व सिंगल विंडो क्लीयरेंस के लिये ज्ञापन सौंपा है । चंडीगढ़ में रंगमंच का कल्चर पिछले 60 सालों से है लेकिन इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर की कमी की वजह से यहां के बेहतरीन लाजवाब एक्टर की मुंबई में स्ट्रगल कर अपने करियर् को दिशा नहीं दे पाते हैं इसीलिए उन्होंने  एंटरटेनमेंट कंपनी की नींव रखी है , वह चाहते हैं कि सिंगल विंडो क्लीयरेंस हरियाणा  चंडीगढ़ व  पंजाब में निर्माताओं को मिले ताकि यहां फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री फले फुले ।
