CHANDIGARH, NOV 4
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today announced a number of initiatives, including a new scheme aimed at financial security of girls right from their birth. Mr Khattar was replying to the Governor’s address on the second day of the ongoing session of Haryana Vidhan Sabha here today.
He also announced schemes to ensure efficient management of power sector and added that the opposition and the general public would be involved in decision making process of the Government. This, he said, would be without drawing party lines.
He said that priority would be given to girls’ education and employment. This would be help them getting married to a groom hailing from a well settled family. He also expressed concern over the low sex ratio in the State adding that people discussed this issue concerning Haryana all over the country. At present it is 859 girls for 1000 boys. To improve this, new schemes would be prepared in the next budget session, he added.
Mr Khattar also expressed concern over the transmission losses in power sector which is about 16 per cent. He said that receipts in the form of electricity bills is just 30 to 32 per cent which is quite low. If receipts are pending, what are the reasons, he questioned. He
said that he was told that the present installed generation capacity of the State is 5000 MW. There were 20 power plants in the State out of which on average only 8 or 9 plants were functional.
He said thatif all the 20 plants remain functional, the State could generate 5000 MW electricity whereas our demand is 4000 MW to supply power round-the-clock to the people. Therefore, the State would get 1000 MW surplus power. He said that it is also a matter of introspection as to why people do not pay their electricity bills and added that all the elected legislators should encourage the people in their respective areas to pay bills regularly otherwise the State would suffer a loss on account of non payment of electricity bills.
The Chief Minister said that education would be the top priority of the State Government as it plays a significant role in human development. He said that the State would strive to follow the National Education Policy to create a healthy atmosphere for education. He said that educational infrastructure would be strengthened and separate toilets for girls would be constructed. He said that Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi has urged all the MPs to construct maximum number of toilets in villages and slums under the MPLAD fund. He said that there was no doubt about Haryana’s significant achievement in sports world as its players have won medals at national and international level, but still the youth of Haryana have huge untapped potential. The State would be developed as a sports hub, added Mr Khattar.
While underlining the need to infuse among the people a sense of belongingness, he said that efforts would be made to remove the gap between people and the government. The perception among the people that the government is ruler based should be removed. He said that his aim is to provide a responsive and corruption free government.
Mr Khattar said that as he has made a self commitment to render public service, he has never done any personal work after having joined the RSS as a full time Pracharak in the year 1980. Being a new to public dealing, he said that he has rendered active and dedicated service to RSS and decided to serve the 2.5 crore people of the state.
He made it clear that he would always remain concerned about the people rather than safegusrding his personal interests. "I feel proud to be associated with RSS and main agenda of sangh is creation of human beings". It would be after a span of 34 years that he would get salary, he added.
Mr. Khattar said that corruption is the core issue of our concern. He promised that there would be no space for corruption in future programmes. Action would be taken on all cases concerning corruption, he added.
