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.

As these residents are old and physically challenged, the state government under ‘Chief Minister’s responsibility scheme’ has decided to provide the facility free of cost.

To take advantage of this scheme, the beneficiaries will have to call on the chief minister’s helpline number 181. After calling, the applicant will have to inform them about the nature of work, which is to be done at E-mitra. Following this, an e-mitra representative will visit the house and take a copy of the documents for applying. Once the application is approved, the certificate generated will be delivered to the home of the beneficiary via post.
