With this, officers too are duty-bound oto ensure that the benefits of the State government s welfare-oriented schemes reach the grassroots level. This was stated by Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal while chairing a review meeting on various important schemes and projects with the Chief Secretary, Sh. Sanjeev Kaushal, Additional Chief Secretaries (ACS), Divisional and Deputy Commissioners held here today. Considering Primary Members (PM) of the society and Common man (CM) equally important as a Prime Minister (PM) and Chief Minister (CM) , every officer has to think out of the box along with performing their duty diligently to ensure meticulous implementation of every Public welfare scheme, exhorted Sh. Manohar Lal. During the meeting, the Chief Minister directed the officers concerned to complete the work regarding conducting special Girdawari to compensate the farmers for the crop damage due to untimely rain and hailstorm by April 15 so that the compensation to all the identified farmers can be transferred by the month of May. He said that work should be done at faster pace so that the farmers do not have to face any trouble. Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Sh. T.V.S.N Prasad apprised the Chief Minister that the directions for conducting special Girdawari to compensate the farmers has already been given to the officers concerned. This work would be completed by April 15. During the meeting, a detailed review was done of various significant schemes including Parivar Pehchan Patra, Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana, SVAMITVA, CHIRAYU, NIROGI Haryana, AMRIT Sarovar, Meri Fasal Mera Byora, DAYALU, Old Age Pension scheme, Engineering Works Portal etc. The real intention of the Government while formulating any welfare scheme is to ensure timely and swift delivery of the benefits among the actual and targeted beneficiaries. Mere drafting schemes on paper and not ensuring their delivery at the grassroots level has no meaning, said Sh. Manohar Lal. The Chief Minister said that in these 5 years, 2 years were badly impacted due to COVID-19 restrictions. The system was constrained but we converted this Pandemic into an opportunity which played a pivotal role in bringing in revolutionary changes in the system by making maximum use of IT, said Sh. Manohar Lal. Ensuring the delivery of citizen-centric schemes to those who actually deserve it should be the top priority of every officer before preparing a blueprint of any scheme. With this, it should also be ensured that the execution of ongoing and the new welfare schemes is streamlined and are completed in a time-bound manner, shared Sh. Manohar Lal. The Chief Minister said that the officers should be focused on maximum interaction with the general public to bridge the communication gap. He directed the field officers including Deputy Commissioners and the Superintendent of Police should hold daily interaction with the common man for atleast 2 hours. Every day 11 am to 1 pmshould be fixed for public interaction. During this period no video conferencing with these officers would be held. Besides this, regular interaction should also be done with the elected representatives and workers as they too are working for the welfare of the society, said Sh. Manohar Lal. The Chief Minister further directed the offices to ensure compliance with State Government orders regarding No meeting Day on every Tuesday in letter and spirit. The Chief Minister said that along with ensuring that the benefits are reaching the last mile person, close vigil should be kept on the leakages in the benefits being given under various schemes. We have to ensure every system should be transparent, paperless and faceless. Also ensuring the quality of work in very ongoing or new development projects should also be the top priority of every officer, said Sh. Manohar Lal. He said that the Meticulous implementation of CHIRAYU and NIROGI Haryana should be ensured along with the identification of the real beneficiaries. (editor dailyworld.in)
