In a significant move to streamline government services, Jaipur's Chief Secretary V Srinivas has issued directives for establishing a comprehensive single-window system for all welfare schemes. The announcement came during a crucial review meeting held on Wednesday that brought together officials from multiple departments.
Major Administrative Overhaul
Chief Secretary V Srinivas chaired the high-level meeting that included representatives from departments of social justice and empowerment, women and child development, child rights, economic and statistics, labour, minority affairs, and tribal area development. The primary focus was on creating a unified platform that would simplify access to various welfare programs for citizens.
During the session, Srinivas emphasized the urgent need for administrative efficiency, stating that no eligible person's pension should be discontinued due to delayed submission of life certificates. This directive aims to protect vulnerable beneficiaries from unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.
Healthcare and Child Welfare Initiatives
The meeting also addressed critical healthcare needs, with the Chief Secretary calling for organized public health lectures specifically designed to assist children suffering from conditions like autism and neuromuscular disorders. This initiative represents a significant step toward inclusive healthcare for children with special needs.
Nutrition and child care received substantial attention during the discussions. Officials were instructed to provide detailed information about the nutrition tracker application and conduct thorough studies of the innovative 'Buddy Mothers' program, which focuses on providing proper care for malnourished children.
Review of Key Government Schemes
Several important government schemes came under scrutiny during the meeting. The Chief Secretary called for renewed efforts in the Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaign, demonstrating the administration's continued commitment to girl child education and protection.
Progress of the Matru Vandan and Janani Suraksha schemes was thoroughly reviewed, with officials being directed to ensure effective implementation. Additionally, specific instructions were issued to guarantee timely supply of ration kits to Sahariya tribal families, addressing essential needs of marginalized communities.
The comprehensive review and subsequent directives signal a proactive approach by the Rajasthan administration toward improving governance and ensuring that welfare schemes reach intended beneficiaries without unnecessary delays or complications.
