‘Providing social security to weaker, needy, deprived sections of society’

According to Dhami, the state is prioritising provision of social security to the weaker, needy and deprived sections of society and is committed to ensuring that “every eligible person receives the benefits of social security schemes in a simple and timely manner”.

In his statement, the CM directed officials to address practical difficulties arising in the implementation of pension schemes with sensitivity.
