KATHUA, MAY 20: As part of the nationwide IEC (Information, Education and Communication) Campaign ‘Jan Bhagidaari–Sabse Door, Sabse Pehle’ being conducted from May 18 to 25, 2026, the District administration organises awareness activities and Beneficiary Saturation Camps across the villages covered under PM JANMAN and DA-JGUA to benefit tribal communities and PVTGs.
In this connection, a series of Janbhagidhari Camps were held today at Panchayat Flote-A, Panchayat Mahi Chak and Panchayat Hardo Muthi in Block Barnoti under the ongoing Janbhagidhari Week to promote inclusive development, ensure saturation of welfare benefits and strengthen grassroots public outreach.
The programmes witnessed enthusiastic participation from members of the tribal community, PRI representatives, officers of line departments and locals. Various government departments including Health, Agriculture, Social Welfare, Rural Development, Animal Husbandry, Education and allied sectors set up stalls to disseminate information regarding welfare schemes and provide on-the-spot public services.
During the camps, extensive awareness was generated regarding various welfare schemes and flagship initiatives of the Government, with special focus on benefits available for tribal communities, particularly PVTGs and other vulnerable sections.
Officials from different departments provided on-spot assistance, guidance and facilitation regarding schemes related to healthcare, education, pensions, livelihood generation, employment, agriculture, social welfare and tribal welfare.
The initiative aimed at fostering participatory governance and ensuring effective delivery of government services and welfare measures to every eligible beneficiary, especially those residing in remote and underserved areas.
These camps were organised on the directions of Deputy Commissioner Kathua Rajesh Sharma with the commitment to empower tribal communities and ensuring their active participation in the developmental process through sustained outreach and public engagement initiatives under the Jan Bhagidaari campaign. The week-long campaign is being carried out under the supervision of DPO ICDS Mohammed Syed Khan in identified locations of tribal committees.
