The Impressive TimesNew Delhi, April 10- In a major step towards strengthening social welfare delivery and ensuring last-mile financial inclusion, the Chief Minister of Haryana on Friday disbursed a total amount of Rs. 1,665.25 crore directly into the bank accounts of beneficiaries under 18 different government schemes.
Addressing the media during a press conference, the Chief Minister said that in line with the vision of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, the double-engine government is continuously working for women’s empowerment and their economic development. Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi was also present on the occasion.
The Chief Minister said that today the sixth installment under the ‘Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi’ scheme has been released. An amount of Rs. 203.28 crore has been transferred to 9.68 lakh women beneficiaries. With this, the total disbursement under the scheme has reached Rs. 1,038.05 crore across six installments, he said.
Highlighting future plans, the Chief Minister said that in the Budget 2026–27 a budgetary provision of Rs. 6,500 crore has also been earmarked for the scheme.
The Chief Minister said that besides this, under 15 social security pension schemes, an amount of Rs. 1,144.55 crore has been directly transferred to 35.55 lakh beneficiaries. These include old-age pension, disability pension, and other welfare pensions.
Taking a dig at the opposition, he said that during the Congress regime, pensions were not processed for 6 months to even a year, and even when they were processed, there was corruption. However, now the state government has adopted a ‘pro-active governance model’, wherein eligibility is automatically determined through the Parivar Pehchan Patra database. This has eliminated the need for applications and office visits, enabling citizens to receive benefits seamlessly at their doorstep.
The Chief Minister shared that under the Dayalu Scheme, financial assistance of Rs. 298.07 crore has been provided today to 7,875 families. He informed me that so far, Rs. 2,118.23 crore has been disbursed to 56,223 families. With today’s release, the total assistance has reached Rs.2,416.30 crore benefiting 64,098 families, shared Sh. Nayab Singh Saini.
In a significant step towards empowering the farmers belonging to Scheduled Castes, a subsidy of Rs. 19.35 crore has been released to 645 farmers for the purchase of tractors. Under this scheme, each eligible farmer is provided a subsidy of Rs. 3 lakh.
Financial aid and jobs for families of two firefighters who died in Faridabad
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that in the tragic incident during duty in Faridabad, where two firefighters working under HKRN lost their lives, the government has decided to provide immediate relief of Rs. 30 lakh per family. Out of this, Rs. 10 lakh per family will be given through the Haryana Parivar Suraksha Nyas and Rs. 20 lakh per family from the CM Relief Fund. In addition, one dependent from each family will be given a job under HKRN. He also stated that the government is making efforts to provide additional financial assistance through insurance.
