He further added that the budget will focus on the development of health care facilities; the state will also get a heliport and a bus port to boost the availability of drinking water across the state.
Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said this heli-hub is proposed to be the first of its kind in the country to have all the facilities in one place for helicopters.
The government has proposed setting up women’s hostels in Gurugram and Faridabad in view of the rise in the number of working women in these cities, the chief minister said.
He also announced that a medical college will be set up in Palwal, south Haryana, to enhance health care facilities in the district and adjoining areas.
The chief minister said that rehabilitation centres for child labourers will be set up in Manesar, Faridabad, Gurugram and Panipat. He also announced the target of building 20,000 houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.He allotted Rs 300 crore for the housing budget.
“This budget has been introduced to improve the system. Instead of offering freebies to eligible persons, emphasis will be laid on making them atmanirbhar (self-reliant). This is in the interest of the country and the people. Citizens can get ahead in life if they get an education, medical facilities, employment and infrastructure,” said Khattar.
