The Uttar Pradesh government’s Social Welfare department is set to form a Transformation Team to maximise the reach of its schemes. Under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directives, all departments are consistently working to ensure that the benefits of various government public welfare schemes are easily accessible to eligible individuals.
The Transformation Team will assess the current status of various schemes and propose necessary changes. This team will comprise experts from diverse fields. Minister of State for Social Welfare Asim Arun has instructed the director of social welfare to appoint a Transformation Team and consultant within the next seven working days.
This initiative aims to increase the number of eligible individuals under the National Social Assistance Programme’s Old Age Pension and Family Benefit schemes by making necessary changes.
In a letter to the director of the Social Welfare department, the minister has emphasised that the department plans to revamp the selected schemes in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of reform, performance and transformation to achieve significant results.
The Transformation Team will assess the current status of various schemes and propose necessary changes. This team will include subject matter experts, information technology (IT) professionals, legal experts, academic experts, and consultants.
