PM PRAISES HARYANA: Haryana has again got a pat on the back from the Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi. He has lauded the Haryana Government, led by Mr Manohar Lal, for the tenacity of purpose and earnestness shown in implementation of the Beti Padhao-Beti Bachao programme which has resulted in record increase in the sex ratio in most districts as well as in the entire state.
Speaking in his “Mann ki Baat” programme today, the Prime Minister also appreciated the out-of-the-box thinking of the Haryana Government in promoting the cause of the girl child by giving the honour of hoisting the National Flag in the rural areas on Republic Day to the most educated girl of the village.
It may be recalled that the Prime Minister had earlier expressed his appreciation for Haryana’s ‘Selfie with Daughter’ campaign during his visits to Faridabad in September, 2015, and in Wembley Stadium in the UK on November 13, 2015. He had stated at a public function that Haryana, which was earlier known for killing daughters, is now being recognised for its efforts to saving daughters. For the first time in ten years the sex ratio in Haryana clocked an upward trend, topping 900-mark with 903 girls for every 1,000 boy in December, 2015.
The Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal, has credited this success to the state’s multi-pronged strategy adopted for implementation of the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ campaign. While 12 districts recorded sex ratio above 900 in December, 2015, Sirsa topped the list with sex ratio of 999 girls per 1,000 boys. In Sirsa, the sex ratio at birth increased from 948 in October, 2015, to 978 in November, and to 999 in December. Panchkula has registered sex ratio of 961, Karnal 959, Fatehabad 952, Gurgaon 946, Sonepat 942, Jind 940, Rewari 931, Mewat 923, Bhiwani and Mahendragarh 912 and Hisar of 906. Inspired by this, the Chief Minister has set the target of achieving the sex ratio of above 950 in the next six months for the entire state.
“It is my vision that all states should follow the Haryana model for
 improving the sex ratio at national level in order to fulfill the vision of Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi, who had launched the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ programme from Panipat on January 22, 2015,” he added.
RATION MONEY INCREASED The Haryana Government has decided to increase the monthly ration money being provided to Leprosy Cured Persons in the State from Rs 600 to Rs 1,100.
        While stating this here today, Haryana Social Justice and Empowerment Minister, Mrs. Kavita Jain, said that 734 leprosy patients would get ration money directly in their bank accounts through the Direct Benefits Transfer scheme. She said that this initiative has been taken to enable them to live with dignity and get the money directly without any middlemen.
The Minister said that most Leprosy Cured Persons are being provided either disability pension or diet allowance. She appealed to them to refrain from begging and do constructive work to support themselves.
        The Minister said that special mobile phones and 431 ADL kits have been distributed among Leprosy Cured Persons to help them perform their Activities of Daily Living safely. These included 128 persons in district Ambala, 98 in Yamunanagar, 28 in Kurukshetra, 44 in Karnal, 15 in Panipat, 28 in Sonepat, 24 in Jhajjar, 51 in Sirsa, 10 in Gurgaon and five in Hisar, she added.
