Minister Shah attends Jan Vishwas Abhiyan camp at Barud; 241 applications resolved

A camp was held on Friday at Barud village in Chhaigaon Makhan block under the Mukhyamantri Jan Vishwas Abhiyan. Tribal Affairs Minister Dr Kunwar Vijay Shah attended. He was accompanied by Pandhana MLA Chhaya More, Mayor of the Municipal Corporation Amrita Yadav and Zila Panchayat president Pinky Wankhede. Collector Rishav Gupta, Superintendent of Police Agam Jain, Zila Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Aishwarya Verma and Janpad president Mahendra Savner were among the other officials and public representatives present.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Shah said camps are held every Friday under the campaign so that villagers can get the benefits of all government schemes in one place and have their problems resolved quickly. He said houses in villages are being registered under the Svamitva scheme and their registry done free of cost, so that villagers get full ownership rights over their property.

Shah also said the government is giving poor families five kg of foodgrain each month free. Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, members of poor families are being treated free of cost for serious illnesses at well-known hospitals in big cities.

MLA Chhaya More said the campaign is taking the benefits of schemes to people through direct interaction with them. She asked farmers to promote organic and natural farming, which can bring higher profit at lower cost.

Collector Rishav Gupta told farmers that the district has had less rain this year, so they should sow only low-water crops next season. He also appealed to farmers to take up horticulture crops. He asked women who came to the camp to get their haemoglobin and sugar levels tested.

At the camp, the Women and Child Development department gave certificates under the Ladli Laxmi scheme to Vanshika Rathore and Shivika Yadav. Applications for mutation after death were resolved for villagers Shantilal, son of Hiralal, and Basudev, son of Omkar. Under the Svamitva scheme, benefits were given to Amarchand Rathore and Mohan Patel. Eligibility slips were given to Ranu Aniruddh Kochle and Surma Bai Dharmendra Singh of the village. The agriculture department distributed soil health cards to Narayan Sharma and Gambhir Singh Keshar Singh. In all, 241 applications were resolved at the camp.
