According to official sources on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a goal of six months to guarantee that his government’s welfare programmes are fully implemented. The government announced that in order to contact and enlist people, it will initiate the massive Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra campaign throughout all 2.7 lakh panchayats in the nation.
According to the reports, the drill would start after Diwali in the upcoming month and last for a few weeks. They also said that individuals throughout the nation will receive specially equipped “raths.”
During a recent Cabinet meeting, Modi urged his colleagues to put in more effort and make sure that worthy recipients of social schemes who have not yet received benefits be contacted as soon as possible.
“He said he wants all his schemes to reach full saturation in the next six months,” a source mentioned.
In addition to skill development programmes and the recently introduced Vishwakarma Yojana, the drive will guarantee the saturation of programmes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Grameen), National Rural Livelihood Mission, PM KISAN, Fasal Bima Yojana, Poshan Abhiyan, Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, Janaushadhi Yojana, and the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana.
Speaking to a crowd at the Scindia School’s founding day celebration in Gwalior, Modi stated that his administration prioritises social initiatives to combat poverty. He urged the audience to extend a hand to at least one impoverished family.
According to Modi, one should not stop working until all impoverished people are covered by welfare programmes, which include those for housing, cooking gas, bank accounts, and health insurance.
“It is necessary to rid India of poverty. Following this path, over 13.5 crore people have been lifted out of poverty. Following this path, India will remove poverty and become developed too,” he added.
