Islamabad : The first-ever Ehsaas e-Kachehri was held at the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) head office on Wednesday in pursuance of the Prime Minister Imran Khan vision of resolving public issues.
The purpose of this e-Kachehri was to provide direct answers to the queries of the beneficiaries of the Ehsaas Program by the concerned officials of Benazir Income Support Program and Ehsaas Program and provide guidance for possible solutions to their problems.
The time for Ehsaas e-Kachehri was fixed on March 31 (Wednesday) from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm during which the beneficiaries were directed to call and ask questions.
However, due to the full participation of the people, the e-Kachehri lasted for about an hour and a half.

In addition to the questions asked during the Ehsaas e-Kachehri, the responsible authorities also shared useful information to guide the beneficiaries so that they can join the program and benefit from other initiatives and schemes.
During the program, the beneficiaries were briefed about the procedure of the participation in the Ehsaas Kafaalat program in detail.
