In his address, Minister Mallabaruah underscored the importance of efficient and transparent implementation of welfare programmes.
Speaking specifically about the Orunodoi scheme, he reiterated that its benefits must be delivered to all eligible beneficiaries without any political bias or administrative delay.
He stressed that transparency, inclusivity, and accuracy in the data collection and verification process are vital to the credibility and success of the scheme.
He also instructed district officials to ensure that all field data related to the schemes are properly maintained and verified ahead of the Chief Minister’s scheduled visit.
Special emphasis was placed on the Mukhyamantrir Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan and Atmanirbhar Asom Abhiyan, which aim to promote women’s entrepreneurship and self-reliance among the youth, respectively.
Mallabaruah also reviewed the rollout of the Eti Kali Duti Paat scheme, a relatively new initiative, and called for rigorous monitoring to ensure that the intended benefits reach the targeted segments.
The minister praised the district administration and officials for their ongoing efforts but urged them to redouble their commitment to ensuring seamless delivery of services and timely resolution of public grievances.
