Chhattisgarh government has now decided to expand the popular Mukhyamantri Mitan Yojana in all the 44 municipalities in the state.
So far, the services under Mitan scheme were restricted to only 14 municipal corporation’s area across the state.
An official communication on Monday stated that keeping in view the convenience of the common citizens, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has taken a decision to implement the ‘Mukhyamantri Mitan Yojana’ in all the 44 municipalities of the state”.
The response from the citizens had been encouraging while its popularity could be gauged from the fact that 96,258 people had availed the services under the scheme that had been implemented from May 1, 2022.
The scheme prevents citizens from visiting Municipal Corporation, Tehsil and other government offices to get necessary certificates and official documents.
As of now, 1,13,234 citizens have dialed on the toll-free number 14545 to get processed the government documents, the statement said.
On receiving the call on the number, the call centre would fix an appointment date for the Mitan (friend in Chhattisgarh dialect) to reach at the door step of the applicant.
The Mitan would verify the required documents and upload them on the portal. The verified documents would be sent online to the departments concerned that would conduct the final scrutiny and issue the sought document.
For the service, the applicant had to pay a very nominal charge. Once the certificate is issued, the Mitan would drop it at the doorstep of the applicant.
