The Jharkhand government has announced a significant restructuring of its flagship public outreach program, Aapki Yojana-Aapki Sarkar Aapke Dwar, with sectoral themes guiding this year's initiative. The program will run from Friday until December 15, 2023, bringing government services directly to citizens' doorsteps.
Sectoral Approach to Public Service
In a strategic shift from previous years, the state administration revealed that this year's program will operate on specific sectoral themes. The announcement came on the eve of the program's launch following a comprehensive review meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Avinash Kumar with senior bureaucrats on Thursday.
The first week of the campaign has been designated as 'Right to Service Week', setting the tone for the entire duration of the program. This thematic approach aims to provide focused attention to different aspects of public service delivery throughout the campaign period.
Grassroots Implementation Strategy
Under this ambitious initiative, camps will be established at the panchayat level across Jharkhand to address various public grievances directly. These camps will see active participation from senior officials and ministers, ensuring that citizen concerns receive immediate attention and resolution.
A key focus area for this year's program involves identifying and enrolling eligible beneficiaries into various state welfare schemes. This targeted approach aims to maximize scheme coverage and ensure that government benefits reach all intended recipients without delays or bureaucratic hurdles.
Administrative Directives and Implementation
Following the review meeting, Chief Secretary Avinash Kumar issued formal directives to all district administrations through an official letter. These instructions outline the operational framework for the program's execution and emphasize the importance of the thematic approach.
The program represents the state government's continued commitment to decentralized governance and accessible public service delivery. By taking administration directly to rural communities, the initiative seeks to bridge the gap between policy formulation and ground-level implementation while ensuring transparency in government operations.
With the program scheduled to continue until mid-December, citizens across Jharkhand can look forward to increased government engagement and streamlined access to essential services at their local panchayats throughout the campaign period.
