A crucial press conference was held at the Kailashahar District Magistrate’s office to present the progress of various government services and the outcomes of the recently concluded 'Dharti Aba Jan Bhagidari' campaign.

Unakoti District Magistrate Tamal Majumdar shared detailed information during the press meet, accompanied by Additional District Magistrate L. Darlong, District Inspector of the Department of Social Education and Welfare Vidyasagar Debbarma, and other senior officials.

The District Magistrate stated that the 15-day campaign, conducted from June 15 to June 30, covered 21 localities under 17 ADC villages. Through direct outreach and special service camps, a wide range of citizen services were delivered on the ground. Various departments worked in mission mode throughout the campaign, resulting in 37,800 people benefitting from the initiative.

Highlights from the campaign include:

Issuance of 2,000 Aadhaar cards, mainly for children aged 0–5 years.

Identification of 9 TB patients at health camps.

1,559 people benefited under the Ayushman Bharat scheme (both PM and CM versions).

1,803 individuals were issued ST certificates.

20 landless individuals received land allotment documents (patta).

285 farmers received Kisan Credit Cards.

672 individuals were brought under different pension schemes.

23 families gained access to formal banking services.

790 people were enrolled under insurance schemes.

287 new LPG connections were provided under the Ujjwala Yojana.

19 artisans benefitted from the PM Vishwakarma Yojana.

386 new ration cards were distributed.

151 small-scale entrepreneurs were selected for Mudra loan benefits.

The District Magistrate emphasized that the campaign was shaped based on direct community feedback gathered during door-to-door visits. To ensure no one was left out of accessing services, departments coordinated in "saturation mode."

One notable achievement was the sanctioning of 19 new Anganwadi centers in tribal areas, 18 of which have already started operating from July 1. The remaining center will open soon. As a result, nearly 100% of tribal children in these areas are now covered under Anganwadi services.

Overall, the "Dharti Aba Jan Bhagidari" campaign has significantly raised awareness and access to essential services among tribal communities. Experts view this as a clear demonstration of the government’s citizen-centric approach.
