The minister noted that the entire certificate distribution process will be conducted online through the ‘Abhiyan Basera’ portal to ensure transparency and accountability. Certificates will be handed over to beneficiaries in the presence of public representatives and dignitaries during the main ceremony or special camps organized at district headquarters on August 15.

Jayaswal added that the progress of the campaign will be reviewed weekly at the headquarters level. All district collectors have been directed to monitor the campaign regularly and provide weekly progress reports to the department, ensuring all preparations are completed within the stipulated timeframe.

The department has set a target of distributing a total of 30,000 settlement certificates across all 38 districts of the state.
