He said on the occasion of Good Governance Day, we should all take a pledge to honestly perform our duties so that lives of the common man can be made easier. Chautala said this at a district-level Good Governance Day programme organised in Gurugram. The actual good governance is where departments not only reach out to the people who are unable to reach the administration, but also fulfil their needs and resolve their grievances he said. In an official statement, Chautala said that Haryana is the first state in the country where BPL ration cards are being made for families with an income of Rs 1.80 lakh instead of Rs 1.20 lakh. Late Chaudhary Devi Lal had also started Kam-ke-Badaley-Aanaj-Yojana 28 years ago, which has now taken the form of MNREGA, he added. The government is trying to install micro ATMs at the ration depot shop, so that the common citizen can withdraw up to Rs 5,000 from there. The tax policy has been aimed in such a way to get rid of the inspector raj . Meanwhile, Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal stated that good governance means that people should be able to easily access government schemes from home. The Haryana government has made various schemes of different departments online to provide benefits to the people of the state in a transparent manner. Kanwar Pal was speaking at a Good Governance Day event in Yamunanagar district on the occasion of the birth anniversaries of former Prime Minister, Late Sh.Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. On the occasion, the minister distributed Android phones to 20 Anganwadi workers. These phones will be distributed to all 1,286 Anganwadi workers, supervisors, and CDPOs in the district. The minister emphasised that India will truly become a developed country when people can get their work done from home without any hassle and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a target of 2047 to accomplish this. He said that Chief Minister Manohar Lal has also ensured that the benefits of the government schemes reach every person in the state through the Parivar Pehchan Patra, as a result BPL cards are being made from home without any recommendation and Old-age pension and other pensions are being made for eligible people without having to go to any office. Notably the government has also taken care of the health of the people by implementing the Ayushman scheme. Now underprivileged people can avail health benefits of up to Rs 5 lakh under this scheme in a year. (editor dailyworld.in)
