Chandigarh, October 4: Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal has called upon women empowerment to play an important role in the Parivar Pehchan Patra survey to identify the real beneficiaries for providing benefits of various welfare schemes. The power of a woman is so divine that it can even make an impossible task possible, said Sh. Manohar Lal.
The Chief Minister said this while interacting with the workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party's Mahila Morcha at his residence here today.
Motivating the women officials, Sh. Manohar Lal said that we have to give a message to the society to follow the right path and such a system should be made in which everyone should get equal rights to keep their opinions.
He said that based on the verification of Parivar Pehchan Patra, the benefit of 581 government schemes would be made available to the eligible beneficiaries at their doorsteps only.
After this survey, many people will be removed from the BPL list. On the suggestion of a female worker regarding the complaint of CM Window, Sh. Manohar Lal said that the eminent citizens nominated for CM Window should not settle the complaint without resolving the problem, said Sh. Manohar Lal.
