Auto Appeal System (AAS) has been launched with which monitoring of Government services can be traced. In order to impart effective services to the people the request for any service can be challenged upto three channels as a result of which Government Departments are actively working now and applicants get prompt response about the service they are availing. We are working more and more towards strengthening and expanding the system at every level, he added.

Now for availing all welfare services PPP will be mandatory. This auto system is helpful in availing all services at ease and will fetch all information while filling any form for availing welfare services.

Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana is a strenuous efforts towards raising the BPL family income to Rs. 1.80 lakh per annum. While registering on the portal, Government will ensure that atleast one member of the family has a monthly income of Rs. 15,000/-. For this portal registeration has been started and with the joint efforts of all departments we are identifying such families and ensuring that they avail benefits under their eligible domain.
