Achievements Know No Limits for Modern India, Says Prime Minister Narendra Modi
In a significant gathering in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Garib Kalyan Sammelan, a conference aimed at focusing on welfare schemes and development initiatives targeted at alleviating poverty, promoting economic well-being, and empowering marginalized communities.
During the event, several beneficiaries of various government schemes shared their experiences and the positive impact these initiatives have had on their lives. Pankaj Shani from West Tripura spoke about the benefits he received, including Jal Jeevan Mission, One Nation One Ration Card, PMAY, and electricity connection. Lalita Devi from Bihar shared her improved living conditions due to schemes like PMAY, Ujjwala, Swachh Bharat, and Jal Jeevan Mission. Arvind from Mehsana, Gujarat, discussed his expanded business and promotion of digital payment due to the PM Mudra Yojna. Santoshi from Kalburgi, Karnataka, shared her positive experiences with the Ayushman Bharat scheme, while Tashi Tundup from Ladakh interacted with the Prime Minister and discussed his positive experiences with government schemes like PMAY, Toilets, Gas Connections, and farming-related benefits.
The Prime Minister emphasised the importance of working for the bright future of the coming generations, for a bright India of the 21st century. He noted that the welfare schemes, good governance, and welfare of the poor have changed the meaning of government for the people. He also highlighted that due to the trinity of Jan Dhan-Aadhaar and Mobile (JAM), money is reaching beneficiaries directly in their bank accounts, putting an end to the injustice of pilferage and leakage by removing 9 crore fake names from the benefit rolls.
The Prime Minister also released the 11th installment of financial benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, enabling the transfer of around Rs. 21,000 crore to over 10 crore beneficiary farmer families. He expressed that the government is completing its eight years and will continue to work for the welfare, honor, security, and prosperity of every Indian.
The Sammelan aims to have elected public representatives interact directly with the public to get feedback about government welfare programmes. The Prime Minister, in his address, expressed happiness to be in Himachal Pradesh for the occasion, congratulated and wished farmers as over 10 crore farmers received money through the PM Kisan scheme, and thanked the people for giving him the opportunity to serve 130 crore citizens. He also commented that today, India does not extend a hand of friendship in compulsion but extends a helping hand, even during the Corona period, sending medicines and vaccines to more than 150 countries.
The Garib Kalyan Sammelan in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, underscored the Indian government's commitment to addressing poverty and empowering marginalized communities, providing a platform for beneficiaries to share their experiences and for the Prime Minister to reaffirm his dedication to the welfare of all Indians.
In his speech at the Garib Kalyan Sammelan, the Prime Minister underscored the importance of policy-and-legislation in empowering marginalized communities, citing examples like the Jal Jeevan Mission, PMAY, and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) schemes. He emphasized that these welfare initiatives have a direct impact on the lives of the beneficiaries, demonstrating the significance of politics in positively shaping general-news stories.
The Sammelan served as a platform for various beneficiaries to discuss their experiences with government schemes, providing a snapshot of the transformative role of politics and policy-and-legislation in everyday lives, thus making it news-worthy.
