Srinagar Dec 23: In a bid to enhance community engagement and accessibility to government welfare schemes, the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) has extended its impactful Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY) to cover Ward-33 in Huhama.
The VBSY initiative, known for its inclusive approach, hosted the “Meri Kahani Meri Zubani” event, providing a platform for beneficiaries to share their success stories and experiences with various government welfare schemes. This not only showcased the positive impact of these initiatives but also encouraged community members to avail themselves of these benefits.

These initiatives included PM Ujjwala Yojana, PM Awas Yojana, PM Svanidhi, Jal Jeevan Mission, Pradan Mantari Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, and more. The films served to educate and create awareness about the various schemes available to the residents.
The event concluded with a collective pledge, “Hamara Sankalp Viksit Bharat,” taken by key officials and staff involved in the initiative.
