State Government had succeeded in getting approval of Rs. 1155 crore World Bank Project for preservation of Environment in the State. This was stated by Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal, Chief Minister, while addressing a mammoth public meeting at Tauni Devi, in Hamirpur district today, after making the newly sanctioned Tehsil Bamson at Tauni Devi functional, 6th in the district and 84th in the State. He also dedicated newly constructed Science Block in Government Senior Secondary School, Tauni Devi, completed at a cost of Rs. 87 lakh to the students of the school and laid foundation stone of residential complex for employees of Block Development Office, estimated to cost Rs. 38 lakh, today. Earlier he also dedicated newly constructed community hall at Shiv Temple in gram panchayat Panjot, to the devotees.

Chief Minister said that Himachal Pradesh had been the role model in environment protection in the country and appealed to the people to save environment and plant more trees to increase the green cover in the State. He said that water, forests, land, were essential ingredients for sustenance of all living beings and society needed to be educated about the same. He said that World Bank had always been lauding such initiatives of the State Government directed towards protection of environment.

Prof. Dhumal said that the State had ranked at number one for third year consecutively in implementation of 20-Point Programme in the country. He said that per capita income in the state had increased from Rs. 43,000 in year 2007-08 to Rs. 73,000, registering an increase of Rs. 30,000 in past four and a half years. He said that social security pension was vision of BJP and was started with Rs. 50 per month and had now been increased from Rs. 200 in year 2007-08 to Rs. 450 while the previous government had not added even a single rupee. He said that 1,15,600 new pension cases had been sanctioned during current term.

Chief Minister said that despite the reduction in ration quota by the UPA Government the State Government had endeavoured to provide consumers relief by subsidizing the essential commodities for which the State Government was spending Rs. 140 crore for the current financial year. He reminded people of the food grain schemes during NDA regime when plenty of food stuff was available on need basis to the people. He said that Annapurna Yojna was vision of former Prime Minister, Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee. He said that free ration was distributed amongst the poor people above 65 years of age having no source of income. He said that cheap electricity was being ensured to domestic consumers by subsidizing the same and the state was spending Rs. 190 crore during current financial year over the same. He called UPA Government as full of scandals when record and highest scandals had taken place.
