This is not a simple work but a mission to change the lives of women. All the people's representatives and officers-employees should join wholeheartedly in mission mode in the implementation of the scheme. The success of implementing the scheme lies in the fact that we receive applications from women without any hassle and difficulty. For this, arrangements should be made to receive applications with sensitivity in every village and ward. Activities should be carried out with detailed and micro planning in advance at the district level. Wide publicity should be given about the camps to be organised in the villages and the wards.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that funds are being made available by the state government for doing e-KYC. If any person asks money for doing e-KYC, strict action should be taken against him by filing FIR immediately.

It should be clearly written on the centres set up for e-KYC that e-KYC will be free of cost. There is no need to pay any money to anyone for this, the money for doing e-KYC is being given by the state government.

The Chief Minister said that in villages or wards where there is difficulty in doing e-KYC due to network problems, district administration should arrange vehicles and take them to other centres for e-KYC. publicise it through pamphlets, folk songs and public announcements, to ensure cent percent application in the scheme. The provisional list will be pasted at public places in the villages and wards.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that there should not be any problem in the implementation of Mukhya Mantri Ladli Bahna Yojana, for this the responsibility is being entrusted to the officers of the CM's Office for necessary coordination along with continuous monitoring. A phone number will be issued by the Women and Child Development Department, which can be contacted for resolving the problem.
