Success Story
This service started in September 2019. Out of 218 applications received/ processed, 84 got the UDID card. Remaining applications are either on verification/issuance process.
In order to make all the Divyang residing in Dakshina Kannada district to possess UDID cards, efforts were made to communicate the information to Grama Panchayats. The staff of District Disability office (MRWs, VRWs) were requested to motivate and divert the parties in their area to Seva Bharathi. The information conveyed to the parties/visitors who approach Seva Bharathi office for one or the other purposes. Functions were organized in the premises of Seva Bharathi to distribute the UDID cards through eminent persons in the society. The said functions were also utilized to create awareness on the benefits of UDID Cards, Niramaya Health Insurance Scheme and Legal Guardianship Certificates, by keeping a session for question and Answer, by the beneficiaries.
Since Government Wenlock Hospital conducting special camps at District and Taluk levels, Seva Bharathi has been asked to temporarily suspend this service, at present this service is not entertained at Seva Bharathi office.
