Chandigarh, Sep 16 || Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi on Tuesday said the government has transferred Rs 1.06 lakh crore through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes, revolutionising welfare distribution by ensuring timely, transparent, and efficient delivery to millions of citizens.
This milestone underscores the state's commitment to curbing leakages and enhancing accountability, with significant reductions in ghost beneficiaries and duplication.
He shared this information while presiding over the fourth meeting of the Advisory Board on DBT here.
The Chief Secretary directed the Nodal Officers to regularly update beneficiary data on the state DBT portal and ensure seamless integration of Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) and Aadhaar details so as to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in service delivery.
The Chief Secretary said the core of Haryana's DBT success lies in its pursuit of efficiency and accountability within government systems. This strategic approach has not only expedited the transfer of benefits to eligible citizens but has also significantly curtailed the historical problem of leakages and duplicate payments.
