JIND: Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said 11 government hostels would be established to provide more education opportunities to students from oppressed and deprived sections of society.
The CM said this at a state-level function organised at New Grain Market here on the 621st birth anniversary of Sant Kabir Das. He announced a Rs 35-lakh grant from his discretionary funds for Sant Kabir Das Hostel in Jind.
The CM also announced grants of Rs 11 lakh each for the hostels from finance minister Captain Abhimanyu, transport minister Krishna Lal Panwar, minister of state for social justice and empowerment Krishan Kumar, minister of state for cooperation Manish Kumar Grover, Sonipat MP Ramesh Chander Kaushik and Sirsa MP Sunita Duggal.

The CM also announced a Rs 5-lakh grant each out of his discretionary funds for Bhurchi Samaj Sewa Samiti and three other institutions. He said the government did not lack funds and was serious about the development of every section of society. For nearly five years, he said, “We have done equal development for all 90 assembly seats of Harayana.”
Khattar announced that the state government would from July 1 organize tours for the people belonging to scheduled castes to visit the birthplace of Sant Kabir Das and Sant Ravidas at Varanasi and pilgrimage of Maharshi Valmiki at Amritsar. For this, interested persons can get their registration done in the deputy commissioner’s office and they would be provided with second-class reserved railway tickets free. For this, initially, 100 devotees each from every assembly constituency will be given an opportunity every year. This way, 9,000 pilgrims will visit these places in a year. It will be on first-come-first-serve basis and a family will be given this benefit only once.
He also announced to grant in principle approval for implementing the Scheduled Caste A and B categorization in educational institutions from the upcoming academic session. He also announced that about 25,000 government jobs would soon be advertised and every year the backlog of scheduled castes will be filled and no posts will be allowed to remain vacant.
