Himachal Pradesh government relief and development

Overview

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has announced a comprehensive relief and development package for Himachal Pradesh. During Independence Day celebrations, the initiative detailed revised pay scales for National Health Mission employees with seven years of service, alongside salary increases for outsourced staff nurses, paramedical personnel, and data entry operators.

Financial measures include a 20 per cent arrears payment for Class IV employees and a 35 per cent arrears payout for pensioners. A new health insurance policy will provide Rs 10 lakh in coverage to poor families. To address employment, the state intends to fill thousands of vacancies, including appointing watchmen for approximately 2,000 government schools.

Infrastructure and educational advancements have been expanded through various regional projects. In Hamirpur, the Chief Minister inaugurated 35 electric buses, a new science college estimated at Rs 100 crore, and facilities such as a state-of-the-art SRT Lab and a CBT Lab at Hamirpur Degree College. New irrigation schemes were also introduced to benefit farming families.

Furthering regional connectivity and utility, the Chief Minister sanctioned Rs 27 crore for development projects in the Chopal Assembly constituency of the Shimla district. This allocation includes Rs 12 crore for the Lakhawati bridge, Rs 4 crore for the Nerwa bypass, and Rs 2 crore for a milk chilling plant at Nerwa. Additional funding covers the Chhawala-Chopal water supply scheme and Rs 7 crore for the construction of joint office buildings in Nerwa, Chopal, and Kupvi.
