Industries and Commerce and Labour Minister, . Mool Chand Sharma was also present at the programme.
The Chief Minister shared that he had directed the officers to prepare a list of workers who had not received any benefits due to any reason and to release benefits to all simultaneously. Today, benefits totaling Rs. 15.07 crore were disbursed directly into the accounts of 42,166 women for sewing machines, Rs. 9.95 crore for 19,925 workers under the cycle scheme, Rs. 15.90 crore to 19,880 workers for purchasing tools, Rs. 2.96 crore for education of 3,068 children of registered workers and Rs. 7.23 crore for purchasing e-scooters for 1,446 children received under the Electric Scooter Scheme.
Additional Benefits Provided to Workers
Furthermore, financial assistance of Rs. 12.18 crore was deposited into the accounts of 1,206 workers under the Kanyadan evam Vivah Sahayata Yojana, scholarships totaling Rs. 1.25 crore were given to 379 meritorious children of registered workers under the Scholarship Scheme, and financial assistance of Rs. 7 lakh was deposited into the accounts of 34 workers under the Financial Assistance Scheme for their son’s marriage. Besides these, several crore rupees of benefits were also provided under other schemes, said Sh. Nayab Singh.
The Chief Minister announced that under the Mukhyamantri Tirtha Darshan Yojana, workers will now have the opportunity to visit Ayodhya.
The Chief Minister highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ‘Double Engine’ Sarkar are consistently ensuring the benefits of schemes reach citizens. He praised Union Minister Manohar Lal for his decade-long efforts to ensure equitable development, ensuring that workers now receive scheme benefits directly through a dedicated portal.
Criticizing the Opposition, Nayab Singh said Congress leaders claim they will close the portals started by the current government if they come to power. He noted that such statements remind people of past corruption, as workers did not receive benefits during Congress’ rule. In contrast, the present government ensures benefits reach everyone through the portal.
He said that over the past decade, our government has provided benefits to workers under the Ayushman and Chirayu Scheme. The Congress government talked about giving plots to people, but neither did they give possession of plots nor did they provide any documents to them, said the Chief Minister.
However, our government has identified all such individuals and provided them with 100-100 square yards plots along with possession certificates. Additionally, for those villages where land is not available, an amount of Rs. 1 lakh will be transferred in their accounts to purchase plots. He said that Congress misled voters, whereas our government has worked to ensure that the benefits of schemes reach every person.
He said that our government is making strong decisions in favor of the poor, which has increased people’s trust in Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi and our double-engine government.
The Chief Minister further stated, “We have launched the Happy Yojana, which offers free travel of up to 1,000 kilometers per year to every member of families earning less than one lakh annually in Haryana.”
He added that they have also inaugurated the Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which benefits families earning less than Rs. 1,80,000 annually. Families having annual income between Rs. 1,80,000 to 3,00,000 will receive a subsidy of Rs. 20,000 under this scheme, shared Sh. Nayab Singh.
Earlier speaking on the occasion, Labour Minister, Mool Chand Sharma emphasized the significant contribution of workers in elevating Haryana to new heights. He expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh for providing various benefits to workers on this historic day. He said that Haryana is a state of farmers and labourers, and the important role of workers in its development.
Rajya Sabha MP, Krishan Lal Panwar, MLA Krishan Middha, Principal Secretary, Labour Department, Sh. Rajeev Ranjan, and Labour Commissioner, Sh. Mani Ram Sharma, and large number of workers also remained present on this occasion.
