DC Reasi reviews readiness for Outreach Camps in 44 Tribal Villages

Reasi : Deputy Commissioner (DC) Reasi Nidhi Malik chaired a comprehensive review meeting on Monday to assess preparedness for a district-wide outreach campaign covering all 44 tribal villages under the union government’s flagship— Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA) programmes. The initiative, part of the ongoing Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh celebrations, aims to deliver individual entitlements and raise awareness among the tribal people about key government welfare schemes.
As part of the Dharti Aaba Abhiyan campaign, Awareness and Benefit Saturation Camps will be organized from June 15 to June 30, 2025. These camps are designed to ensure saturation of welfare schemes at the grassroots level by facilitating doorstep delivery of essential services to tribal communities in the remote and underserved areas of District Reasi.
The DC also reviewed the ground-truthing status of all 44 tribal villages, conducted block-wise by Gram Sabhas through Block Development Officers (BDOs), based on 25 key indicators — including the availability of pucca houses, piped chlorinated water, electricity, schools, Primary Health Centres (PHCs), and Community Health Centres (CHCs), among others.
The ground-truthing exercise, conducted through Gram Sabhas, focused on identifying both fulfilled and pending gaps. The DC added that insights from this assessment will inform the preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and enhance service delivery during the campaign.
During the meeting, DC Reasi emphasized that village-level and cluster-level targeted service delivery camps will focus on services such as Aadhaar enrollment, ration card issuance, Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) health coverage, caste certificate issuance, PM-KISAN registration, and Jan Dhan account facilitation, among others. The objective is to ensure that every eligible tribal individual and family receives the benefits of these schemes without delay or exclusion.
To ensure effective implementation, the DC directed all BDOs and line departments to conduct thorough awareness campaigns in each tribal village. These efforts will support the targeted delivery of entitlements and strengthen monitoring mechanis She also instructed district officers to ensure active participation of their staff in upcoming block-level committee meetings and service delivery camps for better coordination and execution.
The campaign will involve active participation from Common Service Centres (CSCs), frontline workers, and departmental teams to ensure seamless service delivery. Emphasis will be placed on inter-departmental convergence and last-mile delivery, ensuring no eligible beneficiary is left behind.
ADDC Sukhdev Singh, CPO Narinder Kumar, PO ICDS Rakesh Kumar, ACR Nitin Verma, DSWO, CEO, CMO, DIO, CAO, and other district and sectoral officers were present during the meeting.
