To promote central welfare schemes, BJP to launch help desks across Kerala

Thiruvananthapuram: The BJP in Kerala said on Sunday that it would establish help desks in all 14 districts of the state to bring various central government welfare packages closer to the people.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the saffron party's new state president, introduced the logo for the state-level assistance desk during a celebration held at Mararji Bhavan, the party's headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram, as part of the party's foundation day.

The goal of the initiative is to ensure that eligible beneficiaries are connected with the central schemes, Chandrasekhar's office said in a statement.

C Krishnakumar, the party's state general secretary, will oversee the help desks, which are set to start functioning in all district headquarters.

These will also assist people in resolving various issues, the statement added, PTI reported.

Similar help desks will be established in all 30 organisational districts by the end of this month.

The primary objective of the help desks is to help deserving individuals access the welfare schemes introduced by the Narendra Modi government.

Various service-oriented activities will also be carried out through this initiative.

Chandrasekhar said, "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas (Together with all, development for all) is the vision put forward by PM Modi and the BJP." "All citizens should benefit from progress, development, and education,” Chandrasekhar said, adding that employment opportunities must be made accessible to everyone.

He further stated that a developed India is possible only through a developed Kerala.

During the event, people from various walks of life received BJP membership from Chandrasekhar.

Senior party leaders, including O Rajagopal and V Muraleedharan, were also present at the function, the statement added.
