According to the CM, for the first time the panches and sarpanches elected in the recent panchayat elections will be administered oath by the Gram Sanrakshaks in the Gram Sabha meeting to be held on 3 December across the state.

He said under the ‘Haryana Panchayat Sanrakshak Yojana -2021’, Class-I officers serving in the various departments have been nominated as Gram Sanrakshak, wherein the officers would help them resolve the problems of the villagers and ensure the holistic development of the villages adopted by them.

Meanwhile, the Haryana government approved the new Haryana AatmaNirbhar Textile Policy 2022-25. The estimated budget for the policy is Rs 1,500 crores with a cap for capital incentive cases.

This policy and related schemes would come into operation from the date of its notification in the official Gazette and shall remain in force for a period of 3 years.

A decision in this regard was taken in the meeting of the Council of Ministers. This new policy will supersede the previous Haryana Textile Policy 2019 and aims to promote value-added textile activities with suitable policy interventions to harness the potential of the entire textile value chain in the state.
