Self-reliance through security cover

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over the reins of the country, the first thing he did was to formulate
schemes that would give a strong lifelong security cover to the poor, Dalits, deprived, and backward

encouraging entrepreneurship was started so that the foundation of Viksit Bharat becomes strong.
