Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday said his government will soon fill 36,000 vacancies while stating that the BJP dispensation has already provided 1.44 lakh jobs to the youth on merit.

In his Independence Day speech here, Saini said the state government is committed to the economic and educational development of women and providing them with a safe environment.

Saini hoisted the national flag and extended greetings to people, and also paid tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country's freedom. He also laid a wreath at the war memorial, according to an official release.

"The present state government has provided government jobs to 1.44 lakh youth based on merit. We will soon fill 36,000 more vacancies," said Saini.

Besides, the government has secured jobs for 1.2 lakh employees working under outsourcing services and the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam, he said.

On the education front, Saini said 76 new colleges have been opened in the state, including 32 women's colleges.

"Free education up to postgraduate level is provided to girls. As many as 5,105 daughters pursuing higher education abroad have been given loans totalling Rs 20.28 crore for education, with the Haryana government providing a five per cent interest subsidy," said Saini.

To enhance livelihood opportunities for women, one-third of ration depots have been allocated to women, he said while speaking about his government's works.

Saini stated the state has set a goal to make two lakh women 'Lakhpati Didis' through various training programmes.

"The first phase aims to make 62,000 women 'Lakhpati Didis'," he said, adding that the Narendra Modi government had brought the Nari Shakti Vandan Bill to increase women's participation in democracy by providing 33 per cent reservation in legislative bodies.

Similarly, Haryana has provided 50 per cent representation for women in Panchayati Raj institutions, he said.
