He also announced the opening of the Primary Health Centre in Pihadi and a sub-division of HPSEBL in Lagdu, besides announcing 33 KW sub-stations at Majhin and Thehra. Many decisions were taken during the last year to make Himachal self-reliant, and we have extended the benefits of the welfare schemes at the grass-roots level to benefit the poor and downtrodden. The Chief Minister said that the state government was going to open more employment avenues for the youth in the government sector, giving preference to merit holders. Our government, soon after coming to power, disbanded the Staff Selection Commission in Hamirpur, which had become a hub of corruption. Papers were sold here. Our government has created the State Selection Commission to provide equal opportunity to youth and maintain transparency in the selection process, he remarked. He said that the financial mismanagement of the previous BJP government pushed Himachal Pradesh into an economic crisis, and our government has been making all efforts to come out of this situation, and steps have been taken to create the state's own resources to make Himachal self-reliant. During the disaster, several senior leaders of the BJP, including the Prime Minister, were urged to provide a special relief package to Himachal Pradesh. He pointed out that all three BJP members of parliament from the state should be asked about their contribution during the disaster. They even didn't plead the case with their central leaders in an effective manner. Not even a single penny has been received from the central government, apart from the legitimate due share of the states. The government reinstated the old pension scheme despite financial constraints. He said that the state government is opening Rajiv Gandhi Day-Boarding School in every assembly constituency and has taken the decision to introduce the English medium from first class onwards in the next academic session.
