Pro-activeness of social protection office with Gram Panchayat support helped families to reduce their vulnerability.
COVID-19 has increased the vulnerability of the families to a great extent, especially the people living in poor and backward areas. However, to reduce this vulnerability and solving the various socio-economic issues of the under-served population, time to time our Government has come up with various welfare schemes. Many a times, these schemes do not reach the targeted population, but there are some authorities who plays active role in delivering the benefits of the schemes to the targeted population. The Social Security Protection Office of Anandpuri block, in Banswara district sets a perfect example for this. During the lockdown, there were several families who were not getting the benefit of the Social Protection Schemes they were entitled for due to pendency in the submission of some of their documents. The block level Social Protection Unit played a pro-active role in helping these families and attempted to get all the formalities completed so that the vulnerable families could avail the benefits of the welfare scheme.
