Ashok Gehlot to inaugurate ‘Mehngai Rahat Camp’ in Rajasthan today

In an official statement, the chief minister said that the main objective of these camps is to empower the common people by giving them complete information about their rights, schemes, and their eligibility, according to the news agency PTI. 

Under these camps, the general public and deprived sections will be provided relief from inflation by connecting them with the public welfare schemes of the state government. 

He said that the common people will get the benefit of 10 public welfare schemes in the camps, which will provide relief from the rising inflation.

Gehlot informed that registration has been made mandatory in the camps to join the 10 public welfare schemes run by the state government. 

For the convenience of the common people, a person from any district can register in the camps of other districts also through the Rajasthan government’s Jan Aadhar card, he added. 

Around 2,000 permanent inflation relief camps will be set up by district administration at government offices and public places. A two-day inflation relief camp will be organized in 11,283-gram panchayats and 7,500 wards each as per the calendar.

In addition, adequate counters will also be set up in these camps for registration and distribution of the Chief Minister’s ‘Guarantee Cards’. The state government has made a provision of ₹592 crore under various schemes for farmers’ welfare, PTI reported.
