During the hearing at the camp, the Agriculture Department distributed two power weeders, three chaff cutters and three flour mills to 11 farmers associated with the Maa Kheda Suri Agriculture Self-Help Group of Kanda village at an 80 per cent subsidy.

Addressing the gathering, Uniyal said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the state government is working with the spirit of Antyodaya to ensure that the benefits of welfare schemes reach the last person in society. He observed that the administrative machinery is now reaching remote rural areas to resolve issues at the local level, adding that thousands have already benefited from such camps. He noted that many problems at the village and tehsil levels remain unresolved due to a lack of awareness and urged public representatives to actively disseminate information about government schemes.
