Stating that a total of 12 lakh new yellow ration cards have been generated in Haryana, the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said that ensuring the welfare and safeguarding the interest of every section of the society is our utmost priority.

Khattar, speaking as a chief guest at the 48th annual fair organized by Kashyap Rajput Punjabi Welfare Society and All India Kashyap Rajput Sabha in Ambala City, said that with the new transparent system, ration cards have been made for those who did not have ration cards. About 12 lakh new ration cards have been made.

Ensuring good health for every needy and poor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Ayushman Bharat Scheme. While following his footsteps, Haryana too has successfully generated Ayushman and CHIRAYU cards for 29 lakh beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Ayushman Bharat Yojana, informed Khattar. He said that constant plans are being made to ensure that the lives of the people remain safe and secure. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, work has been done to provide houses to the poor who do not have their own houses. Under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, work has been done to provide gas connections to nine lakh families in Haryana, informed the Chief Minister.

Khattar added, “For the valour and bravery, today I would like to give a new name to this Kashyap community. Now, this community will be called Purusharthi Samaj as with their hard work the people of this community are shining in every field. Many welfare schemes are being implemented by the State Government for this society.”
