Chandigarh, September 2: The Haryana government has successfully dismantled the notorious "parchi-kharchi" system, a corrupt practice that involved bribes and political recommendations for securing government jobs. The eradication of this system has been hailed as a major achievement, restoring trust and self-respect among the people of Haryana, particularly the youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.
For years, government jobs in Haryana were often auctioned off to those with the right political connections or the means to pay bribes. This system severely disadvantaged the children of poor families, who were left without opportunities despite their qualifications. However, under the leadership of the BJP government, the introduction of 'Mission Merit' has completely transformed the recruitment process into one that is transparent and merit-based.

The impact of this change has been profound. Stories of labourers' children and farmers' sons securing government positions are now making headlines, showcasing the success of the new system. One notable example is the recent report of 35 youths from a single village in Sirsa district who were able to secure government jobs purely on merit. This milestone highlights the government's commitment to honesty and transparency in its recruitment policies.

The eradication of the ‘parchi-kharchi’ system has not only improved the image of Haryana but also increased the prestige of its citizens. The shift to a merit-based recruitment process has given hope to many families who previously felt excluded from such opportunities, ensuring that all candidates are judged fairly based on their qualifications and performance.
This success story from Haryana serves as a model for other states looking to combat corruption and promote transparency in their recruitment processes. By prioritising merit over connections, the BJP government has demonstrated that it is possible to create a fairer society where talent and hard work are recognised and rewarded.
The Haryana government's efforts mark a significant step forward in creating a more just and equitable society, setting a new standard for good governance and systemic change in the state.
