India is a welfare state. The makers of modern India (keeping in mind the conditions of certain suppressed communities) had framed an India where everyone has equal rights, equal opportunities and equal benefits. In a similar context, an income certificate is a document issued by an authority under the state government. This particular document acts as a proof of eligibility to various schemes and benefits like educational and medical benefits amongst others that can be availed. These benefits are still not completely utilized by the ones who require them the most.
Lakshyam has been working with such communities for over a decade now. The people would often complain about no medical and educational benefits. Upon, the realization that the communities could avail certain benefits which would aid and support them, we at our end requested and approached local authorities in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh &Jharkhand. With their help, every household has an income certificate with them. Now, they are happy to avail benefits like school education for the kids &medical benefits in the nearby hospital. The upliftment, empowerment, education and holistic development are possible when the people know their rights and opportunities that they can avail.
