Detailed Action Plan:
During National Manthan Shivir held on December 15, 2023, an implementation strategy of the mission was discussed, where more than 700 officers from Central and State governments brainstormed jointly. Sectoral Workshops were organised during which the 9 Ministries/Departments prepared a detailed Action Plan. This plan, reflecting the commitment of States, has been presented to the High-Powered Committee under the Mission, comprising Cabinet Ministers of the respective Ministries. It was pointed out that many families in these communities do not have Aadhar, caste certificate and Jan Dhan account, because of which it may be difficult for them to avail the benefit of different schemes. Detailed discussion was held with UIDAI, CSC, Ministry of Agriculture and PMJAY, other departments, along with the DMs of these 100 districts to saturate these basic requirements in campaign mode in one week.
