In an effort to improve access to government welfare schemes and public services, the Delhi Government on Thursday launched 42 Jan Kalyan Shivirs across the national capital.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated the first camp at the MCD Community Hall in Sandesh Vihar, Shalimar Bagh. She said the initiative was aimed at ensuring that no eligible beneficiary is left out of government schemes.
The camps, being organised from June 18 to June 20 between 10 am and 5 pm, have been set up across all districts of Delhi. Separate counters have been established by various departments to facilitate on-the-spot assistance, registration and grievance redressal.
“Earlier, people had to visit different offices to avail themselves of the benefits of various schemes. However, with the double-engine government and a triple-engine system dedicated to public service, the government is now reaching people at their doorstep and addressing their concerns with the resolve of ‘service, convenience and solutions’,” Gupta said.
Residents visiting the camps can access services related to ration cards, e-Shram cards, Jan Dhan accounts, PM SVANidhi, PM-UDAY, Aadhaar registration, Ayushman cards, widow and disability pensions, scholarships, caste certificates, Delhi Jal Board services and house tax-related issues. Information on the PM Surya Ghar scheme and MSME loan facilities is also being provided.
Union Minister of State and Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra, who inaugurated a camp in Vishwas Nagar, said the camps would help resolve public grievances and improve the delivery of government benefits.
Several MPs, Delhi ministers, MLAs, Mayor Pravesh Wahi, Deputy Mayor Monica Pant, NDMC members and other public representatives inaugurated camps in their respective constituencies.
