Over the past 9 years, Manohar Lal has ushered in a new ray of hope into the households of the underprivileged
Youth have secured employment without recommendations, a prospect that was once thought unattainable in Haryana
Previous reigns were marked by regionalism, nepotism, and casteism, but Manohar Lal's tenure has striven to address and mitigate these issues
Chandigarh, Sept 27 - Over the past nine years, Haryana Chief Minister Sh Manohar Lal has placed Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay's principle of Antyodaya at the heart of his political agenda. He has awakened a new ray of hope into the households of poor and less fortunate by providing employment opportunities to young individuals based on merit, free from any nepotism or favoritism.
In Haryana, the notion of securing a government job had seemed like an unattainable dream for many, as regionalism, nepotism, and caste-based biases had long influenced job placements. However, the Chief Minister has shattered this longstanding perception by offering government jobs to 110,000 youth, with approximately 56,000 more positions currently in the pipeline.
During a Jan Samvad program in Sangwadi village in Rewari district, where a resident expressed greetings towards the Chief Minister and dedicated a song to him titled "Ram Kahoon Ya Krishna Kahoon Ya Kahoon Kalak Avtari, after his son and daughter secured employment without any recommendations. The Chief Minister graciously accepted the congratulations but humbly stated that he is neither Krishna nor a deity; he is simply a human being with the responsibility of ensuring that the underprivileged receive their rightful opportunities. These young individuals have earned their positions through their own merits and capabilities. The news of job placements, ranging from the Haryana Civil Services (HCS) to Group D positions, came as a pleasant surprise to people who were previously engaged in agricultural work, running shops, or working in factories. They could hardly believe that these jobs were obtained without any recommendations or bribery.
The Chief Minister's efforts have illuminated the lives of impoverished and disadvantaged families, where darkness and despair once prevailed due to poverty. These job opportunities have not only enhanced the economic status of these families but have also elevated the social standing of the youth within their communities.
Chief Minister extends a helping hand to destitute children, guiding them from their upbringing to gainful employment
Chief Minister is extending a helping hand to those children who have lost their parents and are being raised in child care institutions. In a remarkable initiative, he has launched the Harihar Yojana, aimed at securing a brighter future for these children. This innovative program offers nurturing, free education, and employment opportunities to destitute, homeless, abandoned, and surrendered children. As part of this initiative, the Chief Minister has not only provided these children with a stable upbringing but has also handed them appointment letters for positions within government departments, bringing joy to the lives of 11 deserving individuals. It's noteworthy that among these 11 children, 9 are girls, and 2 are boys.
Employees engaged on a contractual basis safeguarded against exploitation by contractors
In a proactive move to safeguard the rights and interests of contract-based employees across various departments in Haryana, operating under the outsourcing policy, the Chief Minister has established the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam. This significant development has effectively addressed longstanding concerns regarding contractors and service providers exploiting these workers by failing to provide them with essential benefits such as Employee Provident Fund (EPF) and Employee State Insurance (ESI). Under the Nigam's purview, approximately 90,000 employees have been included, ensuring that they receive the rightful benefits of EPF and ESI, thereby enhancing their overall well-being and security.
CM’s goal of achieving Antyodaya upliftment is coming to fruition, with 50 thousand individuals embracing the path of self-employment
Chief Minister, who regards the entire state's population as his own family, has set forth a commendable goal aimed at uplifting the economically disadvantaged families of the state. This objective is now bearing fruit as part of the Chief Minister Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana. The government has undertaken initiatives to restore the dignity and self-respect of these families by organizing Antyodaya fairs and fostering connections among their members through various programs. In these fairs, a remarkable 50,000 individuals have been granted loans to initiate self-employment ventures or pursue other forms of work. Today, these individuals are not only providing for their families but are also leading self-sufficient lives.
The Chief Minister's vision is centered on transforming Haryana into a prosperous and contented state. This vision can only be realized when every last individual in society, particularly those at the end of the line, experiences upliftment. This embodies the fundamental principle of Antyodaya, and the state government is consistently committed to working in this direction, striving for the betterment of all its residents.
