ANANTNAG: As part of the ongoing Dharti Aaba Janbhagidari Abhiyan, district administration Anantnag today organized mega Awareness and Benefit Saturation Camps at various panchayats in the district. The camps witnessed enthusiastic participation from the local tribal population. Resource persons from various government departments engaged with the attendees, providing detailed information on a wide range of welfare schemes.

During the camps, officials raised awareness about social security, livelihood, and skill development programs, besides addressing several grievances of the locals. A number of issues raised by participants were resolved on the spot.

Speaking on the occasion, officers from various line departments emphasized the importance of ensuring last-mile delivery of government services to marginalized sections, particularly in remote tribal areas. They highlighted the efforts made by the administration to facilitate access to welfare schemes and bridge gaps in public service delivery.

As part of the Dharti Aaba Janbhagidari Abhiyan, district administration is conducting such awareness camps across identified locations in the district. These camps, scheduled to continue until June 30, 2025, aim to ensure that no tribal household is left out of the benefits of various government schemes.

The outreach initiative aligns with the government’s inclusive development goals and focuses on participatory governance through awareness, facilitation, and the resolution of public grievances at the grassroots level. Local community members appreciated the efforts of the administration and expressed hope that such initiatives would continue to bring positive changes to their socio-economic conditions.

DAJGUA underscores the district administration’s commitment to inclusive development and tribal empowerment. The initiative is being closely monitored by the District Development Commissioner, Anantnag, with regular reviews and field visits planned to ensure transparency, effectiveness, and saturation of services.
