Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced on Saturday that libraries will be established in all 395 Gram Panchayats of Karnal district in Haryana to provide coaching-like facilities for competitive exam preparation to rural youth within their villages.
Speaking during a visit to Nilokheri Assembly constituency, Khattar said the decision aims to strengthen educational opportunities beyond school education. He contrasted the current system with previous governments, claiming that jobs are now given on merit rather than through recommendations or money.
The minister also highlighted that under the Mhara Gaon-Jagmag Gaon scheme, 24-hour electricity supply is being ensured in the state. He said that on May 21, the country recorded its highest-ever electricity supply of 270.80 gigawatts against demand, with total availability at 283 gigawatts and preparations for up to 300 gigawatts.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Karnal is Khattar's home district, and the announcement comes months ahead of the next Haryana assembly election, due in October. The 395 panchayats cover every village in the district, making the rollout a visible rural outreach. Libraries for competitive exam coaching address a genuine gap: most rural youth travel 20-30 km daily to reach coaching centres in Karnal city. The electricity supply figure of 270.80 GW is a national record, but peak demand this summer has already crossed 250 GW, so the 300 GW target is a planning benchmark for the next two years. Watch for the first library inauguration date and whether the state budget allocates funds beyond this year's election promise.
