Nokia Smartpur Impact Story from Rajasthan

• Beneficiary is a resident of Punjpur village in the Dungarpur district of Rajasthan. He has been physically disabled since birth, which prevents him from taking up any regular employment

• Beneficiary's wife occasionally works as a laborer in the village to support the family, but the income is irregular and insufficient. This directly affects the children’s education and nutrition. They have 4 children to support. 

• The family does not have any stable source of income, nor were they able to benefit from any government schemes due to lack of awareness and limited understanding 

Intervention - 

• REACHA Smartpur team got to know about his condition during their routine visit to village

• Team informed the family about Disability Pension Scheme

• Provided full support in arranging the required documents, completing the online application, and following up with the authorities

• Within three months, beneficiary started receiving a regular pension in his bank account. In addition, the team explored the possibility of enrolling three of his children under the Rajasthan Government’s Palanhar Scheme

• REACHA Smartpur team took complete responsibility for documentation, submission, and coordination with the local administration. As a result of these combined efforts, beneficiary's family now receives ₹5,600 per month in government assistance.

• This timely intervention has not only brought financial relief but has also improved the education and nutritional support for the children.
