# Social Security Push in Jharsuguda: Over 5,180 Enrolled Under Madhubabu Pension Scheme; Unified Portal Launched

**JHARSUGUDA:** In a major drive to expand welfare coverage across Jharsuguda district, Odisha’s Revenue and Disaster Management Minister **Suresh Pujari** today launched the **Unified Pension Management Portal (UPMP)** and oversaw the enrollment of **5,180 new beneficiaries** under the Madhubabu Pension Scheme (MBPS) alongside new housing work orders under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

Odisha’s Revenue and Disaster Management Minister, **Suresh Pujari**, inaugurated the event as Chief Guest at the MCL Auditorium in Beheramal. Organized by the District Administration in collaboration with the Department of Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD), the event also saw the direct on-stage distribution of allowances to **1,063 new beneficiaries** and the flagging off of a **Social Security Awareness Rath** to educate citizens on welfare schemes.

Addressing the gathering, Minister Suresh Pujari reiterated the government’s commitment to making senior citizens, widows, and persons with disabilities self-reliant. He noted that the newly launched UPMP portal will bring greater transparency, speed, and simplicity to both pension applications and allowance disbursements.

Attending as Guest of Honour, Jharsuguda MLA **Tankadhar Tripathi** highlighted the administrative reforms introduced by the current government. "Previously, many eligible individuals faced long delays even after turning 60. Today, our people-centric administration has simplified the process so senior citizens can access their pensions directly," Tripathi said, describing the initiative as a testament to the government’s commitment to service, good governance, and the welfare of the poor.
