April 25, Lalitpur – The Mahankal Rural Municipality in South Lalitpur has initiated the home delivery of social security allowances to make the distribution process more convenient, simpler, and citizen-friendly. According to Dolma Maya Gole, the Vice Chairperson of the rural municipality, arrangements have been made to deliver allowances directly to the homes of senior citizens, single women, and persons with disabilities for their ease.
“Many wards of our rural municipality are located in remote and difficult terrains. Previously, senior citizens, single women, and individuals with disabilities were compelled to visit the bank at Gotikhel, the municipality center, to collect their allowances. That obligation has now been eliminated. Therefore, we have started the initiative to deliver social security allowances at their doorstep,” explained Vice Chairperson Gole. She further informed that this service has been formally launched from Ward No. 6 in Thuladurlang of Mahankal Rural Municipality.
Receiving the allowances at home has brought joy to senior citizens, people with disabilities, and single women. The rural municipality plans to expand this service across all wards in the future. Additionally, Vice Chairperson Gole shared that services such as citizenship recommendations, social security services, and registration of personal incidents will also be made available at the ward level through mobile camps. The rural municipality emphasized that under the slogan, “Services at your home, not at the municipality,” it aims to continue this campaign to make service delivery more effective and citizen-centered.
