Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today said Keorak village in Kaithal district, adopted by him under the Vidhayak Adarsh Gram Yojana, would soon have a regional centre of Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences.
Addressing the locals in Keorak today, he said villages having a population of 10,000 and above would be provided with facilities on par with cities and the village falls in this category.
He asked the farmers not to burn crop stubble as it causes pollution and instead use it as fodder and power generation.
Keorak would be made model village, Khattar said.
The Chief Minister approved Rs 3.50 crore for water treatment projects for four ponds in the village and also announced widening of the roads from Keorak to Teek and Gyong.
Gram Sachivalayas would be opened in every village of the state and gymnasiums would also be set up, the Chief Minister said, adding, every three months, a meeting of Gram Sabha should be called for discussing development schemes and their implementation.
He also asked people to settle their disputes at the panchayat level.
Khattar expressed happiness over the villagers' initiative in getting electricity meters installed and told them keep away from theft of electricity and pay their bills on time.
