Hailing the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Khattar said, that by launching ambitious programmes like ‘Beti Bachao-Beti <g data-gr-id="21">Padhao</g>’, ‘Swatch Bharat Mission’, ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana’, ‘Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana’ and ‘Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Yojana’, Modi has initiated the beginning of a new era in the country.
The CM also threw light on the welfare initiatives of his state <g data-gr-id="24">government,</g> and claimed that he has been trying to provide a graft-free administration in Haryana. "Efforts are being made to ensure uninterrupted supply of power round-the-clock provided the people cooperate in checking theft of power and pay arrears of their electricity bills," he said, adding that the facility of CM Window has been introduced in all the districts of Haryana.
