We eliminated corruption, nepotism: Haryana CM
Some leaders call us 'Portal Ki Sarkar.' However, the reality is that without more than 100 apps and portals, people won't be able to get the benefits of these schemes: CM.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday said the state government distributed artificial aids worth about Rs Eight Crore to Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in the last eight years.
Speaking at a programme jointly organised by Bharat Vikas Parishad and Jain Samaj in Panipat and distributed artificial limbs, wheelchairs etc to PwDs, the chief minister said several steps have been taken by the state government to provide every possible help to the PwDs. He said apart from increasing the budget for the welfare of the PwDs, Rs 44 crore has been made available to various NGOs for the purpose.

Under the Harihar Yojana, the government has made provision for offering jobs in Group C and D for orphan youth and the government also pays house and marriage expenses of such children.
Haryana’s Paralympian Deepa Malik is an inspiration for all as she has brought laurels to the state by winning a medal in Paralympics, the CM said.
Khattar said Nirogi Haryana Yojana is implemented for families having income less than Rs 1.80 lakh. Initial medical check-ups are being conducted of all such families for an early diagnosis of any medical ailment.
