Efforts are on to reach out to eligible people with govt schemes: Delhi CM at a jan kalyan shivir

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday inaugurated a ‘Jan Kalyan Shivir’ (Public Welfare Camp) at the MCD Community Hall in Sandesh Vihar, Shalimar Bagh. Such camps are being organized across 42 locations in the city from June 18 to 20 with an aim to provide the citizens with accesss to various different schemes of the Central and state governments at one place.

These camps are being organised with the spirit of ‘12 Years of Trust, Development and Public Welfare’ of the Central government.
Speaking on the occasion, the CM said earlier, people in Delhi had to visit different offices to avail themselves of the benefits of various schemes. Hence, many facilities were not easily available and at times remained elusive to the residents of Delhi. However, with the double-engine government and a triple-engine system dedicated to public service the government can now reach out to people at their doorstep to address their grievances with the resolve of ‘Service, Convenience and Solutions.’.

The purpose of the camps, she said, is to ensure that the benefits of the Central government’s 12-year public welfare journey under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi reach the citizens directly.

She shared that the eligible beneficiaries can now have access to information, assistance and registration facilities for various schemes from different departments at one place.

The CM said that people can visit any of the 42 camp locations across Delhi during the three-day programme with the required documents and avail themselves of the benefits of various schemes.

Separate counters have been set up by different departments, including the Delhi Jal Board and the House Tax Department, to provide prompt assistance without inconvenience.

Throwing light on key facilities and services available at the Jan Kalyan Shivir, she said that these will give access to a wide range of welfare schemes and services under one roof, including Pink Cards, Ration Cards, e-Shram Cards, Jan Dhan Accounts, the Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana and the PM-UDAY Scheme, and others.

Facilities are also available for the Prime Minister SVANidhi Scheme, Aadhaar registration, ‘Talent Hunt – Hauslon Ki Udaan’, the Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana, House Tax-related services, information on solar power under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, and loan facilities for MSMEs and industries, Gupta added.

In addition, information and assistance are being provided for scholarships, higher education support and caste certificates for members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

Meanwhile, MLA from Tri Nagar Tilak Ram Gupta and officials concerned, and other dignitaries were also present on this occasion.

The CM also said that government’s effort is to ensure that no eligible person is deprived of the benefits of any scheme and that government services reach the last person.

She appealed to people to visit their nearest Jan Kalyan Shivir, obtain information about the various schemes, and avail their benefits.
