Tech-savvy women get solution to grievances on social media

Chandigarh, March 7

The state government’s continuous efforts to empower women has been paying off as women in the state are not only well educated, tech-savvy but also well aware of their rights.

This can be gauged by the numerous tweets made by both women and men of the state regarding various welfare schemes started by the state and Central Government. In fact, the state government has been continuously working for the uplift of women, be it their education, safety and welfare.

The implementation of e-governance in the state has ensured that the Chief Minister’s Office is just a click away from the people.

Sharing details about the tweets made by empowered women of the state, the IT Consultant to the Chief Minister, Dhruv Majumdar, said in a tweet made by Suman, a resident of Sirsa Ghogra in Bhiwani district, on the official Twitter handle of the Chief Minister’s Office, she said she was not getting the ration which was supposed to be given to pregnant and lactating women under various schemes started by the government. The Social Media Grievance Tracker Team, which manages the Twitter handle, immediately swung into action and thereafter facilities were provided as per government guidelines.

In another tweet made by a resident of Mohana in Sonepat in which he sought release of cash incentive of Rs 5,000 for pregnant and lactating mothers under the Pradhan Mantri Matritva Vandana Yojana (PMMVJ). The woman’s husband, Deepak had tweeted on the CMO’s Twitter handle that he had deposited the documents with an anganwadi worker but the same were not updated on the website. Hours after tweeting he received a call from the department and the documents were updated immediately, he added. — TNS
