The Collector directed officials to ensure that children and mothers regularly receive all facilities and services available through the Anganwadi Centre.

During the review of AgriStack registration, Lok Seva Kendra operator Doman Kumar informed the Collector that more than 900 people in the village have already completed their AgriStack registration, while approximately 70 eligible registrations remain pending.
He informed the Collector that delays in several cases were occurring because the Aadhaar details of some residents had not been updated.
Taking note of the issue, Yadav directed officials to organise a special camp for Aadhaar updation to facilitate villagers. He also ordered that the remaining eligible AgriStack registrations be completed immediately.

The Collector also reviewed registrations under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana at the Lok Seva Kendra. So far, 36 beneficiaries have registered under the scheme at the centre.

The Collector directed officials to use the experiences of successful beneficiaries like Avadh Bihari to encourage other villagers to adopt solar energy and benefit from the scheme.
