State Tourism and Culture minister Satpal Maharaj and the state transport minister who is also the district in-charge Yashpal Arya heard out around 175 problems related mostly to education, health, drinking water and pension during the Janta Darbar held in the premises of Government Inter College at Beeronkhal on Monday and said that the state Government was determined to address the people’s problems on the spots as a priority. Different departments pitched stalls in the college premises to give the people detailed information of the Government-sponsored welfare schemes being executed in the district.
Maharaj said that things are being addressed and redressed on the spot thanks to the Janta Darbars being held across the state regularly. “This is enabling the people to reach out to the Government directly and have their problems resolved. This is particularly helping those who inhabit the remote parts of the State,” he said. He also dwelt on the details of the Deen Dayal Upadhaya Rural Kaushal Vikas Yojana.
While 126 labourers were registered under this yojana during the Janta Darbar 36 were registered for Saubhagya Yojana. Widow and elderly pensions were cleared for 24 persons. Caste and character certificated were also issued to some.
Two farmers were given cheques of Rs 10,000 each by the district agriculture department. The Ministers felicitated farmers Mangal Singh and Kunwar Singh for their contribution in the field of agriculture.
Among others present were the District Magistrate Sushil Kumar, SSP Jagat Ram Joshi, block pramukh Kavita Pokhriyal and CMO R S Rana.
