Delhi CM Rekha Gupta launches Jan Kalyan Shivir at Pitampura
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday, 18 June inaugurated the Jan Kalyan Shivir in Pitampura, kicking off a three-day citywide welfare camp drive under the theme 'Seva, Suvidha aur Samadhan' (Service, Convenience and Resolution). The initiative aims to bring government welfare schemes directly to residents, eliminating the need to visit multiple offices.
Scale and Reach
The camps are running simultaneously at 42 locations across Delhi from 18 to 20 June, open daily between 10 am and 5 pm. All major government departments have set up dedicated counters at each venue to process registrations and queries on the spot.
Services Available at the Camps
Residents can access a wide range of Central and Delhi government schemes under one roof. Services on offer include assistance with ration cards, Ayushman cards, Pink Cards, pension cards, labour cards, Aadhaar registration, Jan Dhan accounts, e-Shram cards, PM SVANidhi, PM Vishwakarma, PM Surya Ghar, and Mudra Yojana, among others. Citizens are advised to carry relevant documents to avail themselves of benefits on the same day.
What the Chief Minister Said
'We have organised Jan Kalyan Camps at 42 locations across Delhi. Citizens can obtain information and benefits related to various Central and Delhi government schemes for which they are eligible. All government departments have set up camps to facilitate these services,' Gupta told reporters at the Pitampura inauguration.
She added: 'Whether it is a Pink Card, ration card, pension card, labour card, PM SVANidhi Yojana or Mudra Yojana, all these facilities will be available at these camps. People can come with their documents and avail themselves of the services.'
Political Context
The Jan Kalyan Shivirs are being organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as part of a broader outreach drive marking 12 years of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as one year of the BJP-led Delhi government. Gupta framed the effort within the Centre's 'Viksit Bharat' vision, describing it as a 'triple-engine government fully committed to serving people at their doorstep.'
What Comes Next
The camps conclude on 20 June, and the Delhi government expects significant footfall across all 42 venues over the three days. Officials say the shivirs are designed to ensure welfare benefits reach every eligible resident, particularly those from marginalised sections who may lack the means to navigate multiple government offices independently.
