EVERYONE'S WELFARE, EVERYONE'S HAPPINESS
Heading towards the fulfillment of

the big resolution

The Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, used to say, "How quickly your policies, your plans
reach the person sitting at the end, is very important." There are many budgetary schemes for public
welfare, but until recently, little thought was given to how to reach the beneficiaries in a transparent
manner. The current central government is now implementing the 'Antodaya' principle. Whether it is
ensuring the benefits of social schemes or reaching 100 percent vaccination coverage among the
people, the mantra of good governance is being followed today.
