Chandigarh August 27: Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal today announced to develop two Kisan Model Schools in Jhajjar district as Skill Development Centres and said that a project would be named after former IAS officer late Mr Ram Niwas in village Subana of the district as a tribute to him.

Mr Manohar Lal made these announcements while addressing the people of Badli assembly constituency during the Jan Ashirwad Yatra today.

While recalling former IAS officer late Mr Ram Niwas who hails from the same village, the Chief Minister said that Mr Ram Niwas had worked efficiently in various important departments.

On this occasion, Mr Manohar Lal also appreciated Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Mr O.P Dhankar saying that he has given new direction to agriculture and rural development. Owing to this, people have also started saying Mr Dhankar as Junior Swaminathan.

It may be recalled that during the previous State Government, Kisan Model schools were opened in village Subana and village Bhairavi of Charkhi Dadri but school buildings are not being utilized properly.
