Sonipat, Dec 11 (NationPress) The Chief Minister of Haryana, Nayab Singh Saini, officially launched the Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana 2.0 and inaugurated the state-level Antyodaya Utthan Mela on Thursday.
During the event, the Chief Minister expressed that, under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and inspired by the principles of Antyodaya as articulated by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, the government is dedicated to uplifting the living conditions of the most impoverished families.
He stated, “The Antyodaya Mela serves not merely as a venue for disseminating information about various schemes, but as a hub of development, engagement, and excitement. The optimism reflected in the faces of families attending is the true indicator of our endeavors.”
CM Saini elaborated that the initiative aims to enhance the income of underprivileged families, offering them equal chances, skill enhancement, employment, respect, and improved living conditions.
In its initial phase, Antyodaya Melas were conducted at 166 sites, while the second phase will extend these fairs throughout the state systematically. He emphasized that the backbone of any society is the strength of its families.
“Educated and empowered families inherently lead the state towards prosperity. Our administration is committed to ensuring that the advantages of all programs reach every deserving individual without bias or delay,” stated the Chief Minister.
He continued by saying that the scheme focuses on equipping families with capabilities through loans, training, and skill development, facilitating their journey towards self-sufficiency.
“This initiative creates new pathways in employment, self-employment, education, and health. Departments offering services like pensions, BPL, ration cards, self-employment loans, women’s empowerment, agriculture, and animal husbandry are available on-site, providing immediate assistance to eligible beneficiaries,” he noted.
The government aims to elevate the annual income of the poorest families to a minimum of Rs 180,000 through this scheme.
Families will have access to loan programs, skill development initiatives, daily wage opportunities, and additional facilities.
The program consolidates 49 initiatives from 19 departments, with a dedicated portal established for providing information, eligibility requirements, benefits, and online application services.
CM Saini asserted the government's commitment to women's empowerment.
Referring to the Deendayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana, he mentioned that this scheme is designed to ensure economic and social security for women. To date, Rs 258 crore has been allocated to over 7 lakh women and girls across two installments.
The Chief Minister underscored the state's social welfare initiatives, revealing that over 41 lakh families have had their ration cards automated.
