The Government of India launches various welfare schemes and programmes every year for the benefit of citizens so that they can improve their financial situation, and it also has an impact on the country’s economy. However, due to the lack of affordability, people living in rural areas don’t have access to electronic or social media and hence, remain unaware of these schemes.
The concept of Lok Kalyan Mitra is an attempt to improve the standard of life of deprived and backward people living below the poverty line. The State Government has set a target of making people aware of various social and public welfare schemes being run by the government. Serving as a link between the State Government and citizens, Lok Kalyan Mitr App aims to take feedback from beneficiaries on various implemented schemes and enhance the number of beneficiaries in various schemes of the Central and State Government by organising chaupals at village level, in consultation with the Block Development Officer.
Lok Kalyan Mitr Mobile App and portal have been developed by NIC Uttar Pradesh for capturing the feedback of citizens and photographs of chaupals with geo-tagging for real time monitoring. The Android App also operates in offline mode, and it provides different dashboards for monitoring purpose. It also features modules for chaupal summary entry & feedback entry and data synchronisation.
