“Mobile Sahayak (facilitators) will be hired through the agency that would set up call centres.

“Various certificates such as caste, new water connection, income, driving licence, ration card, domicile, marriage registration, duplicate RC and change of address in RC, will be covered under the scheme in the first phase,” Sisodia told reporters here.
