During a minute review, the minister found that no worthwhile work has been undertaken under this scheme over the last many years and only a handful of beneficiaries have been extended assistance. Shri Khatik warned the district officers and asked them to undertake field tours with a view to getting the scheme implemented properly. He will himself review its progress on weekly basis and thus indifferent officers will not be spared.
