Pulwama : In line with the national vision of tribal welfare and inclusive development, district administration Pulwama Tuesday organized a mega Awareness and Benefit Saturation Camp at Nargistan Panchayat of Aripal Block under the banner of the ongoing Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA).
The camp marked the third day of the fifteen-day long campaign aimed at ensuring 100 percent saturation of all eligible tribal beneficiaries under various Central and State Government schemes. The initiative envisions holistic upliftment of tribal communities through focused interventions in infrastructure, healthcare, education, livelihoods, and digital inclusion.
Departments including Health, Education, Social Welfare, Rural Development, Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal and Sheep Husbandry, Fisheries, Industries, Forest and others participated in the camp and set up dedicated stalls to deliver on-spot services and scheme benefits.
Each departmental stall facilitated real-time support through on-the-spot registrations, beneficiary enrolments, scheme consultations, and awareness dissemination. Brochures, booklets and pamphlets were also provided to enhance informed participation.
To promote digital inclusion, a Common Service Centre (CSC) was established at the venue. The CSC enabled beneficiaries to enroll, correct, or update various important documents such as Aadhar Card, PAN Card, Kisan Credit Card, Driving License, Ayushman Bharat Card, Domicile Certificate and register for various digital services and Government initiatives.
On the occasion, Rural Development department had set up a dedicated desk that facilitated on-the-spot registration of Job Cards under MGNREGA, assistance with claims under the Forest Rights Act (FRA), and saturation of eligible households under PMAY (G).
Officials also sensitised the public about rural infrastructure development initiatives and livelihood convergence schemes tailored for tribal communities. The stall attracted a significant number of tribal beneficiaries seeking assistance and clarity on entitlements and application procedures.
A significant highlight of the event was the health camp organized by the Health department where residents availed free consultation and medical services provided by a team of doctors and paramedics. Special focus was laid on awareness regarding sickle cell disease and water-borne illnesses, with health experts educating the community about preventive healthcare, safe drinking practices, and early detection protocols.
On-spot screenings and basic diagnostics further strengthened the preventive healthcare outreach.
The camp witnessed enthusiastic participation from tribal residents of all age groups who expressed deep appreciation for the government’s proactive outreach.
