Shimla: Himachal Pradesh Sports and AYUSH Minister Yadvinder Goma has said that the present state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has gone beyond fulfilling the guarantees.
He said that out of the 10 guarantees given at the time of assembly elections, five guarantees have been fulfilled in just one year’s tenure. He said that fulfilling the demand of government employees in the very first cabinet, the present state government restored the old pension scheme, so that they can live with self-respect in old age.
He said that the state government has also fulfilled the promise made to the women and has started a scheme to provide them Rs 1500 per month as Samman Nidhi, which was launched by Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu from Lahaul-Spiti district.
As soon as this scheme was launched, BJP’s opposition to women came to the fore and BJP leader Indira Gandhi reached the doorstep of the Election Commission to stop the Pyari Behna Sukh-Samman Nidhi.
He said that the mothers and sisters of the state are watching this protest by BJP leaders and will not remain silent. Goma said that the present state government, fulfilling the third guarantee, has launched Rajiv Gandhi Self-Employment Start-up Fund of Rs 680 crore for unemployed youth.
Apart from this, government assistance is being provided to the youth for setting up solar plants on private land, under which they will be able to install solar plants up to 100 KW, 200 KW and 500 KW. He said that the Chief Minister has taken many effective steps in his budget to strengthen the rural economy, which will ensure prosperity of farmers, horticulturists and cattle rearers. Himachal Pradesh has become the first state in the country to provide minimum support price for milk. Fulfilling the fifth guarantee, it has been decided to start teaching English medium from class 1 in government schools from this academic session.
