MP | 4 Aug 2023 | Kolkata: The state government is starting 7th edition of Duare Sarkar (government at doorstep) from September 1 with two new services to be introduced — old age pension and registration of migrant workers. 

A total of 35 schemes/ services of 17 departments will be available from this edition. Outreach camps for receipt of applications from citizens for inclusion of different schemes will be held from September 1 to 16, while delivery of services will be done from September 18 to 30. 

The old age pension scheme will be offered by the state women and child development and social welfare while the registration of migrant workers will be executed by the state labour department. 

“The state has sought to improve the outcomes of Duare Sarkar by continuous innovation and adaptation, whether in terms of increasing the number of schemes under its umbrella, process reengineering for simplifying access to schemes, seamless, efficient and effective implementation of the schemes as well as improving citizens’ overall experience in outreach camps,” a senior Nabanna official said.
