*Ensuring Timely Assistance to Eligible Families Under Dayalu Yojana is Government’s Priority: CM Nayab Singh Saini*

 Chandigarh, October 9: Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini has directed officials to ensure that eligible families under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana (Dayalu-I and Dayalu-II) do not face any difficulties in receiving financial assistance. No applicant should have to approach middlemen to avail the benefits of the scheme, and eligible beneficiaries must receive financial assistance without unnecessary delay.

The Chief Minister was chairing a review meeting of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana in Chandigarh on Friday.

The Chief Minister directed officials to ensure end-to-end tracking of the entire process, from the submission of applications and verification of documents to the transfer of financial assistance. Once the prescribed procedure is completed, arrangements should be made to transfer the assistance directly to the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries in real time so that they do not have to wait unnecessarily for payment.

He further directed that applications under the Dayalu-I scheme should be verified on the lines of the Dayalu-II scheme to ensure a smooth verification process and timely benefits for eligible beneficiaries.

*Applicants to Be Informed on Phone About Objections or Rejection*

The Chief Minister directed that if an objection is raised against an application or it is rejected after the death certificate and other required documents have been uploaded, the applicant must be clearly informed of the reason. The concerned officials should also contact the applicant by phone so that any deficiencies in the documents can be rectified and the necessary action taken.

Sh. Saini also directed officials to take the necessary steps to make the Dayalu scheme proactive, on the lines of the Old Age Samman Allowance Scheme, so that eligible families can be identified and provided benefits conveniently and in a timely manner.

Emphasising the need to make the application process simple, transparent and accountable, the Chief Minister said that eligible families should not have to make unnecessary visits to government offices and that every application must be acted upon within the stipulated time.

During the meeting, officials briefed the Chief Minister on the implementation of Dayalu-I and Dayalu-II and the Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana.

Additional Chief Secretary, Finance and Planning Department, Sh. Sudhir Rajpal; Commissioner and Secretary, Information, Public Relations, Languages and Culture Department, Sh. K. Makarand Pandurang; Deputy Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, Dr. Yashpal; Chief Executive Officer, Haryana Parivar Suraksha Nyas, Sh.
