Special Stalin Camps have been set up across Tamil Nadu to collect applications from women who were earlier left out of the scheme. These camps handle multiple government services in one place, including caste certificates, land ownership transfers, pensions, marriage support, and Aadhaar corrections.
Applications submitted at the Stalin camps are being verified by the government and responses will be given within 45 days. The government has already indicated that the first list of new beneficiaries will be released shortly.
