CHANDIGARH, FEB 5
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal, said that reforms are being introduced in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MGNREGA) Scheme to provide greater benefits to a larger number of people.
The Chief Minister was addressing mediapersons at the 30th Surajkund International Crafts Mela-2016 at Surajkund in district Faridabad today.
Replying to a question, the Chief Minister said that the scheme, which was launched about 10 years ago, had a number of shortcomings. This had resulted in the benefits being limited to only a few people. However, under the leadership of Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, Union Rural Development Minister, Mr. Birender Singh, was making consistent efforts to overcome the drawbacks in the scheme, he added.
Referring to his upcoming visit to Chennai, the Chief Minister said that he would visit the city on February 10, 2016, with the objective of attracting investment in Haryana. He said that apart from foreign investors, the Haryana Government was also wooing investors from other states.
He said that Haryana Government was ready for elections to Urban Local Bodies in the State and all preparations have been completed. The election process would begin as soon as the date is announced by the State Election Commission, he added.
The Chief Minister had earlier held a discussion with officers regarding health services being provided in the State.
Speaking on the occasion, Urban Local Bodies Minister, Mrs. Kavita Jain, said that the Haryana Government is ready to take every possible step for empowerment of women and the ambitious ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ programme is being implemented on a strong note. She also hailed the election of nearly 50 per cent women to Panchayati Raj Institutions in the State during the recently-concluded elections. Praising the artistes and artisans, she said that the Surajkund International Crafts Mela-2016 was playing a significant role in promoting the cultural heritage of Haryana.
Transport Minister, Mr. Krishan Lal Panwar said that a state-level function would be organised in Rohtak on February 21, 2016, on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Saint Guru Ravidas. The Chief Minister would be the chief guest on the occasion, he added.
