She directed the officers to ensure timely implementation of schemes, keep a check on corruption and bring transparency in the work. The minister said that the local councillors should be taken into confidence while preparing schemes, as they have better information about the problems of the people and geographical situations of their respective areas. The Haryana government is not only ensuring effective implementation of schemes of both, the central and the state governments, but also making efforts that the benefits of these schemes reach the grass root level, she said.
Jain said that under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme of the central government, special emphasis was being given to infrastructure facilities, drinking water, sewerage and parks, in urban areas. She said the centre has approved Rs 2,565.74 crores for 18 districts of the state, which included Rs 1,405 crores for sewerage, Rs 487.75 crores for drinking water, Rs 464.24 crores for rain water drainage, Rs 104.64 crores for urban transportation and Rs 103.39 crores for parks and their beautification.
