Explanation:

As per the state government’s social welfare initiative, the residents of the state who are handicapped, the elderly, widows and those suffering from silicosis will not have to go to the E-mitra centers or kiosks to avail the services.

Such services will be provided free of cost to the beneficiaries at home.

After the facility is introduced, the said categories will be assisted to carry out all E-mitra related works including verification of social pension at home.

At present, many residents falling under the described categories have to visit E-Mitra centres for social pension verification, add names in ration card, procure caste, domicile and Palanhar scheme certificate.

Elders aged 60 years or more and do not have any assistance at home, a widow woman who does not have any male member in the house, a disabled man or woman who does not have any other supporting person in the house and patients suffering from silicosis can avail the facility.
