Dehradun: On the instructions of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the “Government for the People, at the People’s Doorstep” campaign will be conducted in the state for 45 days starting December 17, 2025. During this campaign, camps will be set up in various Nyaya Panchayats and Gram Panchayats to ensure that the benefits of schemes related to the common man are made available to the general public. 23 departments, including Revenue, Rural Development, Panchayati Raj, Agriculture, and Social Welfare, will be involved in this campaign. Clear guidelines have also been issued to all concerned departments in this regard.
In compliance with the instructions of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Secretary of General Administration Vinod Kumar Suman, in a letter sent to all District Magistrates of the state, has given instructions for the widespread dissemination of information about Central and State Government schemes and for providing the benefits of various schemes to needy people. He informed that from December 17, 2025, for the next 45 days, under the “Government for the People, at the People’s Doorstep” campaign, camps will be organized in various Nyaya Panchayats, and officials will visit rural areas to provide benefits of various schemes to the people in Nyaya Panchayats/Gram Panchayats, receiving and processing application forms from the general public.
Suman said that this program will be conducted at the Nyaya Panchayat level, and a multi-purpose camp will be organized there. If a Nyaya Panchayat is very large, the program will be organized by dividing the villages into two parts within that Nyaya Panchayat.
He said that during this campaign, people present at the multi-purpose camps will be provided with information about various schemes run by the Central and State Governments, and eligible persons present at the camp will be provided with the benefits of various schemes. He said that after the camp, all the officers will visit a nearby village, and application forms will be filled out for all eligible persons in that village to provide them with the benefits of Central and State Government schemes. Special attention will be paid to ensuring that all residents of that Gram Panchayat (village council) fully benefit from all types of schemes of the Central and State Governments, and that no eligible person is deprived of the benefits of the schemes.
In this regard, he has instructed the District Magistrates to ensure that before the camps are organized, extensive publicity is given through the media, and that these camps are held in the Nyaya Panchayats (village judicial councils) of each tehsil for at least 2 to 3 working days every week, keeping in mind the availability of officers in the district. Efforts should be made to ensure that this program is organized in at least one Nyaya Panchayat of each tehsil in the district every week. This program is to be compulsorily run in all Nyaya Panchayats for a minimum of 45 days. If all Nyaya Panchayats are not covered during this campaign, the program can be extended further by the district as needed.
He has instructed that a survey be conducted in advance through various departments to identify which people in the concerned area/Gram Panchayat are deprived of the benefits of the schemes run by the Central/State Government at the village level, and that action be taken to address these shortcomings during the visits, and that application forms be filled out by all concerned.
Through the letter, he has stated that the District Magistrate must be present at one of the camps held every week. In other camps, the Chief Development Officer or Additional District Magistrate or Sub-Divisional Magistrate must be present. The officers of the designated departments must be present at the camps, and efforts should be made to resolve the problems of the general public on the spot during the camps.
He informed that all types of application forms should be available at the village level two to three days before the camps are held, so that no one faces any problem in filling out the application forms. He has instructed that the outline/action plan for the camps to be held in the Nyaya Panchayats at the district level be prepared within a week and submitted to the government so that the camps can be inspected by government officials. He stated that after each event, details of its success and the work accomplished should be shared with the media, and a progress report of the programs held each week should be compulsorily submitted to the Chief Minister’s Office, the Chief Secretary’s Office, and the General Administration Department.
