The Mukhya Mantri Parivar Samridhi Yojana and three pension schemes old age — Samman Allowance Scheme, Divyang Jan Pension Scheme and Widow and Destitute Women Pension Scheme — have been integrated with the PPP. The ‘Parivar Pehchan Patra’ were also distributed in other 21 districts on Tuesday.
Khattar said the state government has decided to celebrate this year as ‘Susashan Sanakap Varsh’ and the integration of schemes of all departments with
PPP would not only ensure effective and efficient delivery of services to the people, but also put an end to the complaints of corruption and red-tapism in the system. Out of the available record of 56.2 lakh families in the state, ‘golden data’ of 18.19 lakh families has been prepared and these are being given family IDS. The additional 20 lakh cards would be distributed by the end of August, Khattar said, adding that for the remaining family IDS that are to be distributed in September, verification would be completed this month only.
