The Deputy Chief Minister said this while interacting with the villagers of Jind district today.

This time the farmers were not allowed to face any inconvenience in selling their paddy crop, they continued to take feedback from the officers that the farmers should be paid for their crop at the earliest and there should be no problem in lifting the crops from the mandis.

10,78,864 candidates will appear for CET in 1200 examination centres set up in 17 districts, including one in Chandigarh, HSSC Chairman

In cases, where the candidates have downloaded their admit cards multiple times with different exam centres will be given permission to appear in the nearest centre, Bhopal Singh

Chandigarh, November 3 –Haryana Staff Selection Commission, Chairman, Sh. Bhopal Singh said that 11,36,894 lakh candidates had registered for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) to be held on November 5 and 6. He further informed that during the scrutiny of forms, duplicity and incomplete forms have been found. After this entire process, now the final number of candidates appearing for the exam is 10,78,864 lakh and it is expected that all these candidates will appear for the exam, added Sh. Bhopal Singh while addressing a press conference held here today.

He further said that the examination will be held in 658 institutions/buildings. Around 1200 examination centres have been set up in 17 districts of the state including one in Chandigarh. In cases, where the candidates have downloaded their admit cards multiple times with different exam centres will be given permission to appear in the nearest examination centre, informed Bhopal Singh.

He further clarified that the reason for this technical glitch of duplicity in downloading the admit cards had been registered through an Aadhaar card or any other identity document or PPP at the time of registration. Thus, a person is considered to have filled out more than one form. There was no system in the database to track the registration done by the same person through one ID and prevent registration done more than once, said Sh. Bhopal Singh.

He further said that so far 70 candidates have been found who have got more than one admit card. Helpline number 18005728997 has been issued for the convenience of such candidates. On this helpline number, such candidates can give information about their issues. In this situation, the candidate will be allowed to take the examination in the nearest examination centre by the Commission. The rest of the admit cards will be cancelled, said Sh. Bhopal Singh.

He said that such cases will be thoroughly investigated because many times it has been found that some candidates give false information even to err in the examination by increasing the chances of dummy candidates appearing for the examination with duplicate admit cards.

All such activities will be investigated and if it is found that someone has done such an act to deliberately mislead, then they will be debarred from the examinations of the Haryana Staff Selection Commission, said Sh. Bhopal Singh.

Bhopal Singh said that at the time of registration, the candidate had uploaded their PwD certificate, but they were required to tick the same column in the original form as well, which they had forgotten to do and for this reason, considering such candidates as normal candidates software had allocated their examination centres in far districts. This time the Commission tried that the examination centres of the candidates should not be more than a 100 km radius, added Sh. Bhopal Singh.

Expressing gratitude to the Chief Minister, Sh. Bhopal Singh said that this time the historic decision taken by the government to successfully conduct such a huge examination and to provide free travel facilities to the candidates in Haryana transport buses is commendable.

Farmer Producer Organizations are identified as the most appropriate institutional form around which to mobilize farmers and build their capacity to collectively leverage their production and marketing strength.

Collectivization of producers especially small and marginal farmers into producer organizations has emerged as one of the most effective pathways to address the many challenges of agriculture but most importantly, improved all on investments, technology and inputs and markets.

The State Government has given special focus on the formation and promotion of FPOs, and so far, around 700 FPOs have been formed in the State.

During the current financial year, 12 more FPOs and 15 companies have come forward to sign MoU for horticulture commodities.

Haryana is providing Major incentives to FPOs for their handholding under the central sector scheme. For agribusiness Govt. has launched a special scheme namely Crop Cluster Development Programme for the FPOs. Under this programme, a 70-90 percent subsidy is provided to FPOs for establishing Integrated Pack Houses in the Horticulture Clusters. So far, 30 Integrated Pack Houses have been established and 35 are under progress. Priority is also given to them by Agriculture Department for establishing Custom Hiring Centres.

For further promotion, the State Government is coming up with “FPO Policy 2022” Under this Policy, SFAC-Haryana is proposed to act as a State Nodal Agency to liaison with various implementing agencies and taking up some important works like registration, rating or grading, monitoring, promotion and strengthening of FPOs, including cluster formation of Horticulture and Agriculture.

This Policy will also ensure the smooth functioning of FPOs, strengthening of backward and forward linkages, strengthening of the supply chain and direct marketing or trading of produce after sorting or grading at the aggregation points. At present, more attention is being given towards diversification to increase the income of the farmers and generate more employment opportunities for them.

RTS commission slapped a fine of Rs. 40000 in two cases on Tehsildar for delay in furnishing mutation to the complainant

Chandigarh, November 3 – Haryana Right to Service Commission is making continuous efforts to ensure that the benefits of the notified services reach the last person standing in queue in a time bound manner. The Commission is making strenuous efforts to ensure that people availing services should not face any inconvenience. In a recent case, the Commission, while taking strict action on the then Tehsildar, Bahadurgarh Sh. Kaban Lakra, imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 each case (total Rs. 40,000) for delay in furnishing the mutation for two registries of the complainant. The commission also ordered to give compensation of Rs 5,000 each (total 10,000) to the applicant.

Giving more information, an official spokesperson said that an e-mail was received by the commission from Sh. Chinmaya Sharma of Jhajjar district. In this case, the land which was in the name of Chinmay Sharma’s mother Usha Sharma was to be transferred to her son, Chinmaya through a gift deed.

The complainant had raised a mutation request in May, 2021 through Antyodaya Saral in Tehsil Office Bahadurgarh. The time limit for providing uncontested mutation under the Haryana Right to Service Act is 30 days. Even after this, the complainant was made to run from pillars to post to get his work done.

In his report, the then Tehsildar recorded Intkal No. 37036 to Intkal No. 37069 manually from August 12, 2021 to September 14, 2021, but the sequence of registering online Intkal has been started from 38001.
