Collector’s intervention helps rag-picker get Aadhaar, Rice Card

He also gets contract job as a sanitary worker in Guntur

A disturbing image of a rag-picker living along a major drain moved District Collector Vivek Yadav, who promptly ensured that the family is provided with an Aadhaar Card and Rice Card within three days. This will give the family access to all welfare schemes of the Central and State governments. The image of a man picking up used plastic bottles along a major drain published in a newspaper caught the attention of Mr. Yadav, who directed the Joint Collector, Aasara, K. Sridhar Reddy to identify the man.
