"Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra," a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about the Centre's flagship schemes, started in Gujarat's Vadodara and Jamnagar on Wednesday.
The Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra is being undertaken across the country with the aim to attain saturation of flagship schemes of the government through ensuring that the benefits of these schemes reach all targeted beneficiaries in a time-bound manner.
The Yatra successfully engaged with local communities in spreading awareness and empowering individuals with knowledge about various social welfare and development programmes.
As part of the programme's outreach, officials and PRI members spread awareness across Punjab and Himachal Pradesh about government schemes and guided them on how to access the benefits.
In an effort to bring government schemes to the forefront and ensure 100 per cent saturation of the schemes, 36 vans will travel across rural Assam over the next two months under the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra.
A beneficiary of the 'Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana' here thanked the Centre on Thursday after the life of his child was saved through the flagship scheme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The campaign was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 15 at Khunti, Jharkhand. Multiple vans were flagged off simultaneously from various locations with significant tribal populations across the country.
The ceremony witnessed the dignitaries flagging off the IEC (Information, Education and Communication) Van with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, signifying the commencement of a nationwide initiative for progress and development.
The Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a nationwide outreach initiative aimed at informing and empowering citizens about the Centre's flagship schemes, rolled out in Arunachal's Tawang on Sunday.
