25 Nov (HS): Advancing the welfare-oriented policies of the Yogi Government

with strong ground-level implementation, a departmental review meeting was held

on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Shri Narendra Kashyap, Minister of State

(Independent Charge) for Backward Class Welfare and Empowerment of Persons with

Disabilities, in Room No. 7, Naveen Bhawan, Lok Bhawan, Lucknow. The progress

of schemes of both departments, budget expenditure, disposal of pending cases

and preparations for upcoming programs were reviewed in detail.

The

Minister stated that any kind of negligence or delay in implementation of

schemes is unacceptable, and it must be ensured that every deserving

beneficiary receives the benefits without delay and without discrimination.

He

informed that on the occasion of World Disability Day (3rd December), a

State-Level Program will be organized from 03 to 05 December at Indira Gandhi

Pratishthan, Lucknow. Special programs will also be conducted at both the

disability universities — Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation

University, Lucknow and Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Divyang State University,

Chitrakoot. Enrollment in these universities has increased significantly, and

the construction of new hostels will accelerate this further. The Minister also

instructed that district-level motorized tricycle distribution programs be held

simultaneously across the state.

Reviewing

the schemes of the Backward Class Welfare Department — Scholarship/Fee

Reimbursement, Marriage Grant, and Computer Training (CCC/O-Level) — the

Minister directed that eligible students must receive scholarship and fee

reimbursement in a timely manner, CCC/O-Level reimbursements must be ensured

directly into correct bank accounts, and all pending marriage grant cases be

cleared immediately. He also directed wide-scale awareness of schemes up to the

village level.

He

further emphasized that no compromise on quality in departmental construction

work will be tolerated, and strict continuous monitoring must be ensured. The

Minister added that the Yogi Government’s clear intention is that no eligible

person with disability or backward class beneficiary should be deprived of

welfare schemes. He said the government’s initiatives are bringing positive

changes in people’s lives, and this mission will continue with greater

momentum.
