The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) is planning on holding fairs to highlight its achievements over the past three years, and to reach out to residents who may want information on its services.
The first of the ‘Jan Sampark and Kalyan Melas’ will be held in the SDMC’s South Zone on Friday and Saturday. Each of the four Zones will hold a fair in the coming months. As per the plan, 11 departments of the SDMC will showcase their achievements, new initiatives, disseminate information about its services and provide services on the spot if possible.
From useful stalls where services are delivered, to kiosks where only the ‘achievements’ will be displayed, the fairs will also include swings for children and food stalls for the public.
For instance, the Licensing Department will give information about the trade licence application process and take application forms on the spot. The Health Department will conduct general medical check-ups. The Sanitation Department will display the new steel dustbins and rickshaws procured by the SDMC and promote the anti-littering message of the Swachh Bharat campaign.
SDMC Mayor Subhash Arya said on Monday: “We want to inform the public about our work and give them a chance to get their queries addressed.”
He added that there will be stalls put up by banks to facilitate applications to the three new insurance schemes inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently.
