Vendors who have a bank account, Aadhaar number and are registered with the Municipal Corporations can get the benefit of the scheme. Initially, 10,000 rupees loan is given and those making timely payment can get additional loan for 20 thousand and then 50 thousand rupees. The Minister appealed that the target decided in the meeting should be achieved within a month and that the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri SVANidhi Yojana should be given to the poor.

He said that PM SVANidhi is a central-sector micro-credit scheme launched on 1st June 2020 by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) to provide handholding support to street vendors.

The scheme focuses on increasing the digital footprint in India by promoting the use of digital transactions among street vendors. To incentivize the adoption of digital transactions, a cashback of up to ₹100 per month is given to Street Vendors. The scheme aims to formalize the street vendors and open up new opportunities for this sector to move up the economic ladder, added the Minister.

The Minister said that efforts for the economic upliftment of the poor are being made at three levels. These are firstly, efforts to open accounts for those who do not have bank accounts; secondly to provide the benefits of the insurance scheme to the general public and thirdly, to make finance available to those who are deprived of financial assistance.

The convention witnessed lively discussions and insightful presentations by representatives from states including Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh. These presentations showcased the progress made and targets achieved under the PM SVANidhi Scheme, highlighting the positive impact on the lives of street vendors.

*Mayor inaugurates ‘Prarambh’; a unique store in tricity offers diverse eco-friendly alternatives*

*MCC committed to remove the scourge of single use plastic from the city*

For Detailed

Chandigarh, August 9:- To ensure the widespread availability of sustainable products at affordable prices and to encourage their adoption among merchants, residents, and rehri walas, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh (MCC) introduces “PRARAMBH,” a first of its kind store, in Tricity. This dedicated establishment, located in the heart of Sector 17, Chandigarh, will serve as a beacon of sustainability, providing a wide range of environmentally conscious options.

Chandigarh Mayor Sh. Anup Gupta and Municipal Commissioner Ms. Anindita Mitra inaugurated “PRARAMBH,” a revolutionary one-stop store dedicated to sustainable products. The store launch, attended by other MC officials and dignitaries, marks a new era of environmental consciousness and highlights the city’s unwavering commitment to creating a greener and more sustainable world. MCC is also determined to make Chandigarh No.1 in Swachh Survekshan-2023, further emphasizing the city’s dedication to cleanliness and sustainability.

The primary goal of “PRARAMBH” is to establish a sustainable products shop operated by Self Help Groups under the Social Mobilization & Institutional Development (SM&ID) component of the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM). By discouraging wholesalers, merchants, and rehriwalas from using single-use plastic products, this pioneering initiative aims to enhance convenience and accessibility, making sustainable shopping a seamless experience for all.

The Mayor expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, that the inauguration of ‘PRARAMBH’ marks a significant milestone in our journey towards sustainability. By providing a wide range of eco-friendly alternatives, we are empowering the community to make environmentally conscious choices and contribute to a greener future for Chandigarh.

Municipal Commissioner Ms. Anindita Mitra said that through ‘PRARAMBH,’ we aim to create a culture of responsible consumerism and environmental stewardship. This store will not only offer sustainable products but also serve as an educational platform, raising awareness about the importance of sustainable living and inspiring individuals to adopt eco-friendly practices.

In the face of escalating environmental concerns and an ever-increasing demand for eco-friendly solutions, sustainable products have emerged as a pivotal catalyst in effecting positive change. Far surpassing the mere satisfaction of immediate needs, sustainable products encompass the entire lifecycle of a product, from responsible sourcing of raw materials to eco-conscious disposal. By minimizing environmental impact and maximizing social and economic benefits, these products not only drive innovation but also foster responsible consumerism, industry accountability, and environmental stewardship.

Targeting a broad spectrum of stakeholders including street vendors, shopkeepers, rehriwalas, residents, hospitals, and institutions, “PRARAMBH” aims to cater to the diverse needs of the community. The store will feature a carefully selected range of sustainable products, including:

*Compostable Carry Bags/Garbage Bags:* These bags are designed to be biodegradable and environmentally friendly, allowing for easy disposal and decomposition.

*Cutleries:* The store will offer biodegradable and eco-friendly cutlery options, such as utensils made from materials like bamboo or compostable material.

*Cloth Bags:* Cloth bags will be available as an alternative to single-use plastic bags. These bags can be used for shopping and carrying items multiple times, reducing plastic waste.

*Candles:* The store will offer eco-friendly candles that are made from sustainable materials, such as soy wax or beeswax, which have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional paraffin wax candles.

*Agarbati’s:* Eco-friendly and natural incense sticks, also known as agarbati’s, will be available. These sticks are made from natural ingredients without the use of harmful chemicals.

In addition to the range of sustainable products mentioned earlier, “PRARAMBH” also offers a variety of customized gifts and momentos, paintings, hoops, resin flower preservation, photo frames, rakhi, wall painting, and crochet toys. These unique and handcrafted items add a personal touch to special occasions and celebrations while promoting the use of sustainable materials.

With every item thoughtfully chosen for its positive impact on the environment, “PRARAMBH” ensures that sustainability is within reach for all.

This visionary project owes its realization to the collaborative efforts of the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh and local Self Help Groups. By partnering with these groups, “PRARAMBH” not only champions sustainable practices but also empowers marginalized communities, fostering inclusivity and social cohesion.

The establishment of “PRARAMBH” represents a significant stride towards a more sustainable future for Chandigarh. Beyond being a trusted purveyor of sustainable products, the store will serve as an educational platform, raising awareness about the importance of sustainable living and inspiring individuals to embrace greener practices in their daily lives.

The resounding success of “PRARAMBH” will serve as a foundation for future expansion, as the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh remains committed to opening additional sustainable product stores across the city. Through active engagement, impactful awareness campaigns, and robust collaborations with businesses and organizations, this initiative aims to create a thriving sustainable ecosystem that benefits all.

“PRARAMBH” symbolizes Chandigarh’s steadfast dedication to addressing pressing environmental concerns and promoting responsible consumerism. By embracing sustainable products and offering customized alternatives, we collectively pave the way for a greener, healthier, and more prosperous future.

Citizens shall visit “PRARAMBH” at Shop no.2, Sector 17, Near Smart City Office, Chandigarh, and join MCC in the mission to create a sustainable and vibrant community.

बारिश में टूटे राजमार्गों और पुलों का पुनर्निर्माण के निर्देश

विस अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता ने एनएचएआई के परियोजना निदेशक के साथ की बैठक 

घग्गर में 272 ईडब्ल्यूएस फ्लैट्स के निर्माण की जांच के लिए मुख्य सचिव को लिखा पत्र 

4 माह में तैयार हो जाएगा सेक्टर 20 और सेक्टर 12ए को जोड़ने वाला पुल 

चंडीगढ़, 9 अगस्त 

For Detailed

हरियाणा विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता ने पंचकूला जिले में जुलाई माह के दूसरे सप्ताह में अचानक अपेक्षा से अधिक हुई बारिश के पानी से क्षतिग्रस्त हुए राजमार्गों और पुलों का पुनर्निर्माण करने के निर्देश दिए हैं। इस सिलसिले में उन्होंने बुधवार को भारतीय राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण (एनएचएआई) के परियोजना निदेशक प्रदीप अत्री के साथ बैठक की। इस दौरान जानकारी मिली कि अमरावती और डीएलएफ कॉलोनी के पास घग्गर नदी की सीमा में 272 ईडब्ल्यूएस फ्लैट्स के निर्माण होने की वजह से ज्यादा नुकसान हुआ है। इस निर्माण की जांच के लिए विस अध्यक्ष ने हरियाणा सरकार के मुख्य सचिव को पत्र भी लिख दिया है। बताया गया है कि नदी की सीमा में हुए इन निर्माण कार्यों के कारण जहां एक ओर पानी ने फ्लैट्स में तबाही मचाई वहीं, दूसरी ओर पानी को सही रास्ता न मिलने के कारण बांध और पुल भी क्षतिग्रस्त हुए।

बैठक में पंचकूला के सेक्टर 20 और सेक्टर 12ए को जोड़ने के लिए बन रहा ओवरब्रिज के निर्माण कार्य की भी समीक्षा की गई। प्राधिकरण के अधिकारी ने बताया कि यह पुल अगले 4 माह में बनकर तैयार हो जाएगा। इसी प्रकार सेक्टर 12 और 12ए  व सेक्टर 20 और 21 को राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग से जोड़ने तथा इसकी क्रॉसिंग के लिए भी दो पुल 10 माह में बनकर तैयार हो जाएंगे। 

विस अध्यक्ष ने एनएचएआई अधिकारी से पूछा कि अमरावती का पुल मात्र एक साल में ही कैसे टूट गया। इस पर प्रदीप अत्री ने बताया कि पुल का शिमला की तरफ वाले 180 मीटर लंबे अप्रोच टुकड़े में से 36 मीटर का हिस्सा और रिटेनिंग दीवार क्षतिग्रस्त हुए हैं। 

अचानक तेज बारिश के कारण अपेक्षा से कहीं अधिक जल बहाव होने से यह नुकसान हुआ है। विस अध्यक्ष ने कहा कि इसकी मुरम्मत का कार्य उसी ठेकेदार से करवाया जाए, जिसने इस पुल का निर्माण किया था और इसकी भरपाई रिस्क और लागत के आधार पर ठेकेदार से ही रिकवर की जाए। वहीं, एनएचएआई अधिकारी ने कहा कि मोगीनंद में टूटा पुल ठीक कर दिया गया है। 

गुप्ता ने गुरुद्वारा नाडा साहिब के पास बंदर घाटी में पंचकूला-यमुनानगर हाईवे पर बारिश के पानी के साथ बहकर आने वाली मिट्‌टी की समस्या का समाधान निकालने के भी निर्देश दिए। इस पर अत्रि ने बताया कि यहां कोंकण रेलवे की तर्ज पर विशेष प्रकार की घास लगाई जा सकती है। इसके लिए वे वन विभाग से बात करेंगे। 

विस अध्यक्ष ने पिंजौर-बद्दी मार्ग पर टूटे दोनों पुलों को भी जल्द बनाने को कहा है। बैठक में सुलतानपुर के पास अंडरपास और रामगढ़ में राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग के दोनों ओर से 50-50 मीटर तक सड़क की मुरम्मत करने का भी निर्णय हुआ।
