Additionally, the mobile unit travels daily to different areas of Jamshedpur.
The program has helped 3,050 people apply for various pension schemes.
Furthermore, 2,552 families have successfully obtained ration cards through this initiative.

The program covers a wide range of services, including Aadhar card registration.
