Balasore, January 5 (Krushna Kumar Mohanty): In a move to strengthen awareness among eligible beneficiaries, Balasore District Collector and District Magistrate Suryabanshi Mayur Bikash on Monday flagged off the ‘Sahayog’ mobile assistance van from the Collectorate premises at around 10 am.

Special focus will be given to economically weaker sections living in urban areas, ensuring that no deserving individual is left out.
Among the schemes covered under the initiative are Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban), Ration Card, e-Shram Card, Subhadra Yojana, Garima Yojana, PM Vishwakarma Yojana, Madhu Babu Pension Yojana, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, PM Suraksha Bima Yojana, piped drinking water supply, PwD identity cards, and other welfare programmes.
The flag-off programme was attended by Chief Development Officer-cum-Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad Sanjay Kumar Rout, Sub-Collector Shiva Malavya, Executive Officer of Balasore Municipality Nirlipta Mahanty, Balasore Tahasildar Debi Prasanna Saraswat, and District Information and Public Relations Officer Priyadarshi Rajesh, among others.
