Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday said that radical changes have been brought to give a new identity to Haryana as compared to what it was before 2014.

During the tenure of the present state government, more than one lakh regular government jobs have been given with complete transparency and on a merit basis only, ending the age-old Parchi Kharchi system. During previous government regimes, Leaders used to send the list of their dear ones' to HSSC and HPSC for unfair selections, said Khattar, addressing the gathering at Samman Samaroh organized by Kala Shiksha Sahayak Sangh in association with Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh held at Karnal.

This felicitation ceremony was organized by the Kala Shiksha Sahayak Sangh to express gratitude to Chief Minister for giving them employment opportunities through Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRNL).   The Chief Minister clarified that the State Government endeavors to give maximum employment to the needy through HKRNL. He said that Nigam was set up to end the economic exploitation of the youth and this is a significant step towards ending the recruitment done through a contractual system.  

He said that till now the data of more than 90,000  employees have been ported into the Nigam and these employees were engaged through outsourcing agencies in various departments, boards, and corporations. He informed that two days back, through the Nigam, appointment letters have been given to 2075 TGT and PGT teachers with just one click. 

Khattar said that for the recruitment of Group C and D posts, the process of holding interviews has been completely ended and provision has been made for the written examination. "Now for  Group C and D posts, recruitments are being done by conducting a written examination of 90 marks. While maximum of 10 marks have been fixed for experience and socio-economic parameters," he added.

The Chief Minister said complete transparency is being ensured in police recruitment and the candidate having no family member in a government job will also get 5 marks extra, so that even poor families can get the benefit of a government job. He said that for the bright future of the youth, arrangements have also been made by the state government to provide skill training to employ them abroad as well.  Under this scheme, a target has been set to send 1 lakh youth abroad in a year.  

He said that the government will encourage youths who want to set up their business and will also provide employment opportunities in private industrial units. The Chief Minister said that the Common Eligibility Test has recently been conducted by the state government for the recruitment of Group C post, in which about 11 lakh youths had applied, out of which about 6.5 lakh youths appeared in the examination.  The validity of CET will remain for the next three years.  He said that the CET test will be conducted by the government every year and those children who want to improve in it can also apply.  He said that soon Common Eligibility Test will be taken for Group D also.  

Khattar said the number of Vigilance employees has been increased 7 times to prevent corruption.  Apart from this, the power of CM Flying has also increased and the culprits are being put behind bars.
