📢 Bringing Government Schemes Closer to the Community
22 villages | 1,014 community members | 1,564 cases identified
From 8–29 June 2026, the Bhachau team undertook a "DASRA Information Campaign" focused on connecting rural communities with education, health services and government welfare schemes.
The campaign went beyond awareness. The team reached communities through awareness rallies, household visits and village meetings, identified eligible beneficiaries, verified documents and provided online services right at the village level.
What did the campaign do?
🔹 Community awareness on government schemes and services
🔹 Household visits to identify families who had been left out
🔹 Village meetings to explain schemes and address questions
🔹 Document verification and support with applications
🔹 On-the-spot digital services through mobile and internet connectivity

Overall, 651 women and 363 men participated in the campaign, reflecting strong participation by women in accessing information and services.
🤝 The campaign was made possible through the support of Sarpanches, Panchayat members, teachers, Anganwadi workers, ASHA workers, Swasthya Sakhis, youth, women, community leaders and villagers.
The approach was simple: take information and services to the people, rather than expecting people to navigate the system on their own.
