Dedicated help desks at NMC Headquarters and Zonal offices
To facilitate citizens in applying for the scheme, NMC has set up PMAY assistance desks across all ten zonal offices and at its headquarters. Applicants can fill out their forms online through NMC’s official website www.nmcnagpur.gov.in. However, for those unable to complete the process independently, the help desks provide necessary guidance and support.
During his visit, Charthanakar interacted with staff at these help desks, emphasizing the need to disseminate accurate information and assist beneficiaries facing difficulties. He also directed officials to increase the number of applications at the zonal level and suggested seeking cooperation from public representatives to enhance outreach.
Additionally, NMC possesses a database of eligible beneficiaries under various central government housing schemes for economically weaker sections (EWS). Charthanakar instructed officials to ensure that information about PMAY Urban 2.0 reaches these beneficiaries.
