Hassan DC urges public to utilise govt schemes
Hassan: Deputy commissioner KS Latha Kumari urged the public to take advantage of the available govt schemes. The DC addressed the gathering after inaugurating the 'Progress Towards Karnataka' exhibition, celebrating two years of govt achievements, at the new KSRTC bus station in Hassan, on Wednesday.
The officials are working to provide benefits under various govt schemes to eligible individuals. The exhibition aims to provide more information about them.
During the event, feedback was gathered from women regarding the benefits they are receiving, like Rs 2,000 under the Gruha Lakshmi scheme, rations under the Anna Bhagya scheme, free electricity under the Gruha Jyothi scheme, and free bus travel for women under the Shakti scheme.
It was noted that the general public is finding these schemes beneficial.
At that time, when a woman mentioned that her widow pension was not received for the past three to four months, the deputy commissioner immediately contacted the officials concerned to investigate and ensure the provision of the benefit.
She also emphasised the importance of cleanliness at the bus station, called for better vigilance to prevent theft of passengers' belongings, and instructed the divisional control officers to ensure that the bus services do not cause any inconvenience to school and college students.
Zilla panchayat chief executive officer BR Poornima, KSRTC divisional controller Deepak, and others were present.
