TARGET TO REACH

100% BENEFICIARIES

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the government has achieved a
number of milestones in the area of social programmes. The government aspires to
reach 100% of beneficiaries within the Amrit period in order to ensure the dignity,
safety, and prosperity of the impoverished. The administration is committed to
advancing the country's development path with the slogan of service, good governance,
and poor welfare, so that it can create a new India with fresh energy and new goals...

n India that is vocal for the locals." "An India that is self-
reliant." On the occasion of the completion of 8 years
"Aof the government, these words of the PM in a national
programme organised in Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh,
are the resolution of the new India, whose journey has started
from the year of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. On this occasion, the
PM interacted directly with the beneficiaries of a dozen schemes
related to the Central Government. He reiterated his resolve, "My
life is dedicated to the welfare of 130 crore countrymen." On the
completion of 8 years of our government, I repeat that my life
will always be dedicated to the respect, security, and prosperity
of the poorest of the poor. On this occasion, the Prime Minister
also transferred the 11th instalment of the Kisan Samman Nidhi
Yojana directly to the bank accounts of about 11 crore farmers.
For the first time in the country, more than Rs 2 lakh crore has
been transferred to the accounts of farmers in 11 installments.
But, even after eight years, the Prime Minister is not looking
back; his new goal is for beneficiaries to receive 100% of the
benefits of every scheme. He reiterated his vow from this
platform in Shimla. The Prime Minister has given priority
to public participation in every plan and made them a
mass movement. That is why the Prime Minister also
said, "No goal is impossible for the Indians." Today,
India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the
world. He stated that today, over 3 crore poor people
have houses, over 25 crore people have accident
insurance, and over 45 crore people have Jan Dhan
bank accounts. Most of the citizens of the country are
benefiting from the schemes of the central government.
Undoubtedly, India has come a long way since there
is LPG in every household, people are insured under
Ayushman Bharat, national security has been strengthened,
and there is connectivity in remote areas of the Northeast.
