Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatraya, in his address during the budget session in the Vidhan Sabha, stated that the current state government, committed to the principles of good governance through systemic reforms, has so far released Rs 74679.57 crore to the eligible beneficiaries under various welfare schemes through the DBT portal.

Highlighting the government’s motto of ‘Service through Good Governance,’ the Governor said that year 2023 was commemorated as the ‘Antyodaya Utthan Varsh,’ dedicated to uplifting the most marginalized individuals.

This year, the state government continues its commitment with the theme ‘Sankalp Se Parinaam Varsh’. To achieve the vision of ‘Antyodaya,’ e-governance has been extensively utilized to streamline administrative processes and reduce human intervention.

He also informed the initiation of the ‘Jan Samvad’ program by the state government, aimed at engaging with the general public and addressing their concerns.

A dedicated Jan Samvad portal has been established to handle the requests and grievances received through this initiative. This effort has streamlined the delivery of government services and programs, ensuring accessibility and timeliness for citizens from the comfort of their homes.

Referring on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra,’ which commenced from Khunti, a tribal-dominated area of Jharkhand, on November 15, 2023, Sh Bandaru Dattatreya highlighted its objective of promoting inclusive development and raising awareness about the welfare policies of both the Central and State Governments.

In Haryana, 6803 programs have been conducted across 6225 Gram Panchayats and 578 Urban Local Bodies as part of this yatra, drawing participation from thousands of individuals so far.

The Governor highlighted the state government’s innovative measures to extend benefits of government schemes to every household, surpassing the limitations of the Aadhaar card by introducing the ‘Parivar Pehchan Patra’ for family identification.

So far, approximately 2.85 crore members belonging to around 71.42 lakh families have been registered through this initiative.

Furthermore, to enhance accessibility to government services and information, the government has introduced the ‘Jan Sahayak Help Me App,’ enabling citizens to access various services through a single mobile application and provide feedback to the government.

Addressing the issue of corruption, the Governor underscored the state government’s commitment to combating it. In 2023, the Anti-Corruption Bureau registered 205 cases, conducted 152 raids, and apprehended 186 individuals, including 30 gazetted officers, 156 non-gazetted officers, and 40 private individuals. This effort resulted in an average of 16 corrupt officials being apprehended every month.
