Chandigarh, September 16 \u2013 Haryana Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi said the state government has transferred a cumulative total of over Rs. 1.06 lakh crore through its Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes, revolutionizing welfare distribution by ensuring timely, transparent, and efficient delivery to millions of citizens. This milestone underscores the state\u2019s commitment to curbing leakages and enhancing accountability, with significant reductions in ghost beneficiaries and duplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He shared this information after presiding over the 4th Meeting of the Advisory Board on DBT, held here today. Issuing strict directions to all departments, the Chief Secretary instructed the concerned Nodal Officers to regularly update beneficiary data on the State DBT portal and ensure seamless integration of PPP and Aadhaar details, so as to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Secretary stated that the core of Haryana\u2019s DBT success lies in its relentless pursuit of efficiency and accountability within government systems. This strategic approach has not only expedited the transfer of benefits to eligible citizens but has also significantly curtailed the historical problem of leakages and duplicate payments. A substantial number of 36.75 lakh potential ghost, fake, or duplicate beneficiaries have been identified and removed from the system, translating into tangible savings for the state exchequer. Since 2014-15, actual savings attributed to DBT have amounted to an impressive \u20b91,182.22 crore, with cumulative notional savings reaching \u20b910,187.13 crore by the end of the last fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting was informed that that as of now, 26 departments have uploaded 156 DBT schemes on the State DBT portal. Of these, 96 are state schemes and 60 are Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the fiscal year 2024-25 alone, a significant \u20b917,824.10 crore was transferred to 2.78 crore beneficiaries through 14.82 crore transactions, demonstrating the state\u2019s proactive stance on leveraging technology and a robust policy framework to ensure effective governance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
