Notably, in terms of Yatra progress, the State is in the forefront. The Yatra, aimed at bringing government welfare schemes directly to citizens doorsteps, has garnered active involvement from over 23 lakh people across approximately 3438 gram panchayats and wards. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister held a key review meeting with the stakeholders and the Deputy Commissioners on late evening on Wednesday. During the meeting he directed the officers concerned to ensure resolving citizens issues promptly and efficiently. Urban Local Bodies Minister, Dr. Kamal Gupta was also present at the meeting. Lok Sabha MP and BJP state president, Sh. Nayab Singh also attended the meeting via video conferencing. Manohar Lal encouraged Deputy Commissioners to continue working hard to maintain Haryana s top rank. He said that the goal of this yatra is to provide the benefits of central and state government welfare schemes to citizens at their doorstep. Additionally, it aims to ensure on-the-spot resolution of people s issues. Therefore, the officers should lay emphasis on increasing the number of stalls for flagship schemes like PPP, Ayushman Card, and Nirogi Haryana during the yatra s programs to make these facilities more accessible to a greater number of citizens. The Chief Minister also directed teams formed for PPP and Ayushman Card to accept applications from every citizen and ensure the complete resolution of their issues. He said that the yatra will continue until January 26, and during this period, the focus should be on ensuring that the benefits of every scheme reach the deserving individuals with a spirit of Antyodaya. He also directed the officers to appoint group - b officers as a Day - Nodal officer for making the Yatra a huge success in every village. While reviewing districts that did not perform well during the Yatra, the Chief Minister directed DCs to raise awareness among the people and provide them with the benefits of schemes. He said that the Modi ki Guarantee ki Gadi is becoming a powerful means to reach the benefits of schemes to the general public. Ensuring that all government schemes reach the last person in society is the responsibility of officers Manohar Lal. (editor dailyworld.in)
