Next Steps for Implementation
To verify the survey outcome, the officials will introduce a checker in ten villages across each development block. This initiative aims to enhance accuracy and prioritize eligible families for housing assistance effectively.
By employing geo-tagging during the survey, the authorities hold an improved approach for tracking the families identified, ensuring that resources reach the intended beneficiaries efficiently.
