Haryana Chief Minister on Sunday said that the government aims to increase the income of those at the bottom of the pyramid. For this, Mukhyamantri Parivar Utthan Yojana has been started. Under this, families with an income of less than Rs One lakh are being given loans and training for self-employment. Besides this, BPL ration cards are being made through Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP), for those having an annual income of less than Rs. 1.80 lakh.
Through PPP, 42,000 BPL ration cards have been made in Sirsa district in just two months, in other districts also they will be made next month. Also, the elderly will not have to make rounds for getting old-age pension as their pension would start automatically on attaining the pensionable age.
Manohar Lal also said that industrial clusters would be formed to promote employment and industries. The government has started the PADMA scheme for this. There will be clusters of 50 to 100 acres. There is a plan to make 6 clusters in Sirsa district also. Simultaneously, the government will also use 125 acres of land in Banwala village of Sirsa district for promoting sports or industry. This will provide employment to a large number of people, said the Chief Minister.
