Re-verification Completed for 47% of Griha Jyoti Scheme Beneficiaries

Madikeri, Jul. 29: After the government led by Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar ordered the re-verification of the Griha Jyoti Scheme among the state government's guarantee schemes, the re-verification of beneficiaries has been carried out since July 1. So far. 47% has been completed and more will be done, Ramachandra, Executive Engineer of Kodagu Chescom, told “Shakti”.

As per the re-verification, the verification of Griha Jyoti users is being carried out through meter readers and linemen in each house. The meter readers and linemen are going to each house and getting information from the people living in the house. Out of a total of 1,47,812 beneficiaries in Kodagu district, the re-verification of 69,275 consumer records has been carried out so far. The records of 17,250 people in Madikeri taluk, 12,685 people in Virajpet taluk, 17,031 people in Somwarpet taluk, 12,268 people in Kushalnagar taluk and 10,041 people in Ponnampet taluk have been re-verified. Of these, 79.15 percent of the work has been completed in Somwarpet taluk, which is the highest, while only 34.83 percent has been completed in Kushalnagar taluk.

The other information that consumers also have to provide is as follows: The meter reader and lineman will go together and ask the people living in the house, whether it is their own house or a rented house, how many people live in the house, caste certificate, voter ID card, Aadhar card, electricity meter bill, rent agreement for those living in the house, photo - as instructed by the government, and upload it on the mobile app first and then fill out the offline application. They are getting signatures from the people living in the house and leaving.

Those who previously applied for Griha Jyoti online will now have to give their information to the Chescom staff who come to their homes. This time, they will take a photo of the people living in the house while filling out the application online and upload it. Ramachandra has informed that there is time till the end of August.

If they are taxpayers, they will also have to provide their PAN card. Currently, the target for meter readers and linemen to do this many houses per day has not been given. But it has been told that they should complete their area in two months. According to E.E. Ramachandra, only after everyone's information is complete will it be confirmed who should be dropped and what the total number of beneficiaries will be.
