    Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal, highlighted the significant contribution of the state's hardworking farmers towards achieving self-sufficiency in the country's food supply. The present state government prioritises the welfare of the farmers, giving compensation to those affected by floods. Additionally, Farmers who replanted crops have been compensated Rs 7,000 per acre. The previous government used to compensate farmers for crop damage caused by natural disasters with Rs 10,000 per acre, which has now been increased to Rs 15,000 per acre. The Chief minister highlighted that in the past 9 years the state government has disbursed Rs. 11,000 crores to farmers, including the pending Rs. 269 crore from the previous government. A kshatipurti Portal was started to ensure transparency in assessing losses from natural calamities. Furthermore, biomass projects are being introduced in Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Fatehabad, and Jind to generate electricity from stubble, with a capacity of 30 MW. The Chief Minister was interacting with the farmers through audio conferencing under the 'CM ki Vishesh Charcha’ programme here today. The Chief Minister said that stubble is used in the production of biofuel. On August 10, 2022, Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi inaugurated the 2G Ethanol Plant at Panipat Refinery. Following the 2G plant, a 3G plant has been established in Panipat Refinery, which will be the world's first refinery off gas based 3G ethanol plant. An additional incentive of Rs 1,000 per acre is being offered to ensure the consumption of stubble in the 2G ethanol plant. The Chief minister acknowledging the beneficiaries of the of the ‘PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana’. Nearly 8 lakh 74 thousand farmers in the state have received Rs. 175 crores as 15th installment. He stated that a provision has been made to provide a maximum incentive amount of Rs 15,000 at the rate of Rs 500 per acre to encourage the consumption of stubble in Gaushala as well. He said that the state government is in talk with African countries to explore opportunities for Haryana farmers to cultivate there, highlighting the state's diminishing agricultural land. Plans are in the works to make this initiative a reality. The state's farmers set a good example of stubble management The Chief Minister noted that farmers in the state showcased commendable practices in managing stubble burning, Haryana stands as a model state in stubble management, with a reduction in incidents of stubble burning. He praised the farmers for this achievement, emphasising the recent Supreme Court verdict advising Punjab to learn from Haryana in reducing field fire incidents as there has been a 36.4 percent decrease in cases of stubble burning in haryana, whereas in Punjab, only a 27.1 percent decrease has been recorded. According to the ICAR report until November 22, Haryana recorded 2,239 stubble burning cases, significantly lower than Punjab's 36,118 cases. The state has devised alternatives for stubble management, setting a unique precedent nationally by fixing a rate of Rs. 2,500 per ton for stubble purchase. Additionally, a provision of an extra payment of Rs. 500 per ton is made for stubble with less than 20 percent moisture content. The government helped the farmers at every step The Chief Minister said that the government extended support to farmers at every step, from sowing seeds in fields to selling produce in markets. He highlighted that in July this year, floods affected 1469 villages and 4 towns across 12 districts including Ambala, Fatehabad, Faridabad, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Panchkula, Panipat, Palwal, Sonipat, Sirsa, and Yamunanagar.

Similarly, panchayats that transition from sensitive villages to zero crop residue burning receive a Rs 50,000 reward. He further added that the "Mera Pani Meri Virasat" scheme promotes low water-consuming crops by providing a grant of Rs. 7,000 per acre for crop diversification in paddy fields. Approximately Rs. 118 crores have been distributed, leading to a reduction in stubble quantity. 6,794 custom hiring centres have been established in the state since 2018 to prevent pollution caused by crop residue burning and farmers have received 80,071 crop residue management equipment, the Chief Minister added. Government gave a subsidy of Rs 685 crore to farmers for purchase of machines The Chief Minister said that the state's farmers have received Rs 685 crore in subsidies so far.

    Haryana’s Transport Minister Sh. Anil Vij today said that the present state government is committed to encouraging pollution-free transportation and is therefore keen on promoting electric vehicles (EVs) across the state. He added that challenges such as charging infrastructure, which people are currently facing in adopting EVs, will be resolved soon. He further said that if EV companies propose any schemes or plans—like a full-package scheme—for promoting EV sales and infrastructure development, the government will actively consider and implement it. Sh. Vij was presiding over a meeting in Chandigarh with representatives from leading electric vehicle manufacturers across India, including Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Hyundai Motors, MG Motors and Kia Motors. Present in the meeting were Sh. T.L. Satyaprakash, Commissioner and Secretary of the Transport Department, Sh. Atul Dwivedi, Transport Commissioner and other senior transport officials. *EV companies should focus on infrastructure expansion like Charging Station etc. – Vij* During the meeting, Sh. Vij told the automaker representatives that the government wants to boost EV adoption in Haryana and expects that an adequate number of charging stations should be available on roads, national highways, and state highways. He also said that companies must ensure charging infrastructure so that their EVs can run smoothly on the roads. Referring to a recent meeting held by Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Sh. Nitin Gadkari, Sh. Vij said that he had suggested to the central government that people often travel long distances in personal vehicles and should have access to quality rest stops along the journey, offering toilets, refreshments, and seating facilities including charging stations, which are generally lacking at petrol pumps. He urged companies to develop such facilities to support EV adoption, making them more attractive and convenient for users. *The State Government Will Provide Full Support to Promote EVs in Haryana – Vij* Sh. Vij urged the company representatives that selling EVs should not be the only goal; rather, developing supporting infrastructure should also be a core objective. This will ensure that users do not face difficulties in owning and operating EVs. He reassured the companies that the Haryana Government will extend full cooperation in promoting electric vehicles. If the companies suggest comprehensive schemes (full-package schemes) for setting up EV infrastructure as well as boosting vehicle sales, the government will review and implement those suggestions. *Compare the Cost of Electric Vehicles with Conventional Petrol and Diesel Vehicles – Vij During the meeting, Sh. Vij advised representatives to compare the operating costs of EVs with those of petrol and diesel vehicles to promote the financial benefits of EVs and help users make informed decisions. He suggested that EV companies conduct technical studies to plan infrastructure development and choose Haryana as a pilot project location, assuring complete support from the state. He said that if EV consumers in Haryana get proper infrastructure like charging stations, it will create a win-win situation for both users and manufacturers—benefitting consumers while supporting company growth. After the meeting, Sh. Vij took test drives of several electric vehicles, including BE-6 from Mahindra & Mahindra, Harrier EV from Tata Motors, M-9 from MG Motors, Creta EV from Hyundai. He also sat in the Kia EV6, reviewed the features of each vehicle, and shared his suggestions with company representatives. The meeting attended by the Sh. Yash Sehgal (Tata Motors), Sh. Animesh Kumar (Hyundai), Sh. Robin Kumar Das & Ms. Pamela Tikku (Mahindra & Mahindra), Sh. Abhishek Mishra & Sh. Varun Sood (MG Motors) and Sh. Kapil Bindal (Kia Motors) along with other representatives and senior officials.

The use of polythene should be stopped. According to a study, toxic smoke from burning polythene increases air pollution. The Environment Minister was giving his statement in the House on the attention motion brought by Sh. Aditya Surjewala of the Congress and other MLAs on air pollution on the last day of the ongoing budget session in the Haryana Legislative Assembly today. He said as mentioned in the attention motion, the AQI of 24 cities of Haryana is not in the danger zone. The annual AQI is less than 200, which falls in the moderate category. In the year 2023 and 2024, the AQI in Faridabad and Gurugram was more than 200. Except Rohtak and Panchkula, the government is collecting data of 8 parameters out of 12 parameters notified by the Government of India for air quality using Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations. Recently, Rohtak has also been added to PM 10 parameters. Sh. Rao Narbir Singh informed the House that the government is taking various measures from time to time to control air pollution. The officials of Haryana State Pollution Control Board closed 480 air polluting industries during the year 2023 and 2024 and also imposed a fine of Rs 35 crore on them. He informed that the Government of India has also constituted Air Quality Management Commission for air pollution control in the National Capital Region. The state government is implementing all the instructions of the commission. He informed that the government is also making industries aware to bring modern machines which cause minimum air pollution. Apart from this, students are also being made aware in schools and colleges. According to experts, if polythene is buried in the ground, it takes about 400 years to decompose. Therefore, we should avoid the use of polythene. He informed the house that incidents of stubble burning have continuously decreased in Haryana. Farmers have become aware. There were 1406 incidents of burning of paddy stubble in 2024 as compared to 12657 in 2017 and in the case of burning of wheat crop residue in 2024, this number was 3155 as compared to 4747 in the year 2017.

He said that a yoga ashram has already been established on the land, and Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari had envisioned that health facilities should also be made available to the public there. Thus, the government aims to ensure the realization of the spirit of public welfare by taking control of this ashram. The Chief Minister made these remarks during the discussion on the bill related to Aparna Sansthan, introduced in the budget session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly here today. He clarified that the introduction of this bill does not bypass any central government laws; instead, all necessary processes are being followed in compliance with them.

For the past three decades, litigation has been ongoing between them, rendering the institution inactive.

In light of this, 205 unsafe poles have been relocated to safer places in the Badhra constituency in the last three years. He further shared that village panchayats do not have the necessary funds to relocate these poles. To address this issue, the government has decided that the cost of pole relocation will be covered through panchayat tax or a separate budget from the Development and Panchayat Department. Sh. Anil Vij informed the House that India is a developing country where continuous infrastructure development is taking place, including road widening, which often leads to issues related to electric poles and wires. He informed that the department is conducting a survey across Haryana to identify poles obstructing roads. An estimate is being prepared for this work, and the removal of obstructing poles will commence soon. ********************* 262 Government Schools Functioning in Kalka- Education Minister Chandigarh, March 28 – Haryana Education Minister, Sh.
