Kolkata, June 9 -- The Bengal government will hold Jan Kalyan Shivir (JKS), a convergent, single-window outreach to bridge the gap between various central and state government schemes and their intended beneficiaries, across the state from June 15 to 17th, enabling on-the-spot registration, verification, delivery and grievance redressal at the last mile throughout the state.

It has been decided that the local administration will undertake an exercise whereby one camp will be organised to cover around 7 Gram Panchayats and around 10 wards in the rural and urban areas, respectively.

In the Municipal Corporation areas, including Kolkata Municipal Corporation, one camp will be held for each of the 16 Borough.

JKS will be supported by a robust IT portal capturing all important stages of the campaign.

The Department of Planning, Statistics and Programme Implementation will be the nodal department for JKS. Task forces at various levels, including state-level apex JKS committee headed by the Chief Secretary, district-level JKS task force headed by the District Magistrate and Municipality / Block level JKS task forces headed by the SDO/ BDO, respectively, have been constituted for the smooth implementation of JKS.

The Commissioner will head the Municipal Corporation task force.

The implementation SOP for JKS will be shared by the state task force.

All concerned officials have been asked to take necessary action for the smooth rollout of the campaign to ensure the desired outcomes of the JKS are achieved within the timelines and as per the various orders and guidelines issued in this regard.
