Palghar Launches Seva Sankalp Campaign To Expand Welfare Access
Palghar has started a campaign called Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
Its goal is to help more eligible people receive government schemes.
Minister Ganesh Naik said officials, elected leaders and citizens must work together.
The campaign will especially help tribal communities, women, young people, farmers, artisans and small business owners.
Officials will make lists of unfinished work and places that need more staff.
They will also plan ways to improve electricity services after floods.
Naik said big roads, railways, airports and ports should create opportunities for local people.
He also called for protecting tribal land and improving education and jobs.
The campaign includes helping people with disabilities and other disadvantaged groups.
