The Uttarakhand government has launched the statewide campaign titled “Jan-Jan Ki Sarkar, Jan-Jan Ke Dwar” following directions from Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. The 45-day campaign aims to take government services directly to people through camps organised at the Nyaya Panchayat level, involving 23 departments.
Under the initiative, officials are providing on-the-spot information and benefits related to welfare schemes run by departments including revenue, rural development, agriculture, social welfare, health, and women and child development. On the first day itself, camps were organised across all districts, with thousands of rural residents reportedly receiving services and grievance redressal.
In Pithoragarh, over 800 people attended a camp in Daula Nyaya Panchayat, where many complaints were resolved immediately. Similar participation was seen in Champawat, Almora, Bageshwar, Udham Singh Nagar, Dehradun, Rudraprayag, Uttarkashi, Tehri Garhwal, Haridwar, and Chamoli, where district officials, including district magistrates and chief development officers, oversaw grievance hearings and service delivery.
The camps also included issuance of certificates, health check-ups, distribution of assistive devices, agricultural equipment, loans to self-help groups, and registration under various schemes, including the Uniform Civil Code. In Dehradun’s remote Kwanasi area, officials intervened directly in individual cases, highlighting the campaign’s intent to reach vulnerable citizens.
While the turnout and early numbers suggest strong public interest, the campaign’s effectiveness will depend on follow-up action and timely resolution of pending cases after the camps conclude. Past experiences show that outreach drives often face challenges once immediate camps are over, making sustained monitoring crucial.

The government says the campaign is designed to ensure transparency, accessibility, and time-bound delivery of services. Whether this large-scale exercise leads to lasting improvement in public service delivery across all districts will become clearer as the 45-day programme progresses.
