Meanwhile, Cachar District administration has selected the officials who are designated as nodal officers for every venue while elected representatives and other public dignitaries have been assigned as chief guests to oversee the smooth conduct of the programme. Necessary arrangements for seating, public address systems, display screens and beneficiary facilitation have already been put in place.

It is worth mentioning that the Aadhaar based payment system is expected to make the transfer of financial assistance under the Orunodoi scheme more seamless by ensuring that benefits are credited directly to Aadhaar-authenticated bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries.

The district administration has appealed to all Orunodoi beneficiaries to attend the programme at their respective designated venues well before the scheduled time to witness the Chief Minister’s address and receive first-hand information on the Aadhaar-based payment mechanism. A detailed venue-wise plan along with the names of nodal officers and chief guests has been finalised for all notified locations across the district.
