Haryana is leaping and brimming with Fresh Initiatives

under the stewardship of Hon’ble Chief Minister

Manohar Lal Khattar. It features amongst the Top Ten

Performing States this year. The state has emerged as

amongst the Top Three Performing States in both the

areas of Transport and Finance. In addition to receiving

The Awarded projects are, e-Disha – Electronics & IT

Department; Implementation of Integrated Management

Information System – SPML Infra; CM Window Haryana–

India has never had it before – financial inclusion in a mission

mode. More than 18.18 crore accounts – 2 lakh accounts

opening daily – and a corpus of Rs 23,700 crore is the better-

known story of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana announced by

the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 15th August 2014.

What is lesser known is that it is not just about opening bank

accounts, but providing a financial shield to every Indian. More

than Rs 19,000 crore LPG subsidy in 12 crore bank accounts and

linking with social security – insurance, pension, loans – has

made the PMJDY unique and best performing central scheme with

perceived benefits percolating to people. 888 life insurance and

218 accident claims have been paid to Jan Dhan account holders

already. The scheme leverages Post Office system, mobile banking

and Aadhaar to scale next frontiers.

Gujarat is continuing its momentum. Under the able

leadership of Ms Anandiben Patel, the sate continues

It is official now – Sikkim will be declared an Organic

State by the end of 2015. The process for bringing

the total cultivatable land of 58,168 hectares

under organic farming commenced at ground levels

in 2010. The state stopped imports of chemical

fertilisers in 2003, when the government stepped into

Organic Mission process. Sikkim’s “silent revolution”

towards organic farming using organic manure

is environmentally restorative and economically

remunerative. In addition to banning chemical

fertilisers, the state has banned plastics, pesticides

and insecticides to ensure healthy environment not

only to live also to grow and consume. The state has

set up a dedicated body, one of its kinds in the country

– Sikkim State Organic Board – to promote organic

farming. There are over 185 groups of organic growers

across the state. The state has set up a Centre for

Excellence in organic farming, which is now part of

school curriculum of Grade V students in the state.

West Bengal is on the move. It has emerged as a state with

maximum improvement in its performance during last one

year. It has jumped from an overall rank of 10 last year

to a rank of 4th Best performing state this year. It has

also emerged as amongst the Top Three States nationally

in Health; Finance; Agriculture & Rural Development;

and, Governance. Out of these, the state is at No 1 spot

in Health and Finance nationally. In addition to receiving

Skoch Order-of-Merit for 18 of its projects, 9 have been

conferred the Skoch Smart Governance Award. The
