Furthermore, the eligible beneficiaries who were unable to be registered on the day of registration camp were also informed about the possibility of registration through CSCs located in every area (village) across all district, using their Aadhaar Card and Bank Passbook.
As anticipated, a significant number of eligible beneficiaries attended the registration camps to register, especially those who are unable to do so online with the aid of the YMA representatives in each District in mobilizing the entitled beneficiaries.
