Lok Vikas connects Dharavikars to Govt welfare schemes

Mumbai Dec 6 (UNI) Over 300 residents of Dharavi in central Mumbai have gained access to critical government welfare schemes through Lok Vikas, an initiative by the Dharavi Social Mission (DSM).
Held on October 19 and November 16, two Lok Vikas events facilitated the enrolment of 197 individuals, some benefiting from multiple schemes. The initiative has already brought medical insurance benefits worth Rs 10 crore (approx.) to over 300 families in the area.
In a locality where most people work in unorganised sectors, welfare programmes like Ayushman Bharat, E-Shram Card, and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana provide much-needed financial and health security. However, challenges such as lack of awareness and fears about cybercrime often prevent residents from accessing these benefits.
