Rajouri, June 10: Union Minister of Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal on Friday counted remarkable progress achieved under various government schemes during nine years of Prime Minister, Narender Modi’s government. He said the Central government is working on the concept of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” which reflects its commitment towards inclusive and equitable development, where every citizen of the country has equal access to opportunities and benefits.
During his extensive visit to Rajouri district, the minister said the government’s renewed focus on taking the nation to new dimensions of growth and development under the leadership of Narendra Modi has significantly improved the implementation of schemes across the region.
In his address to the gathering, Meghwal commended the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) scheme for its exceptional achievements. He acknowledged that previously the scheme’s progress was sluggish, but with the government’s increased funding and a strict timeline for completion, houses are now being constructed at an unprecedented pace.
Leveraging advanced technologies such as geo-tagging, the scheme ensures transparency and accountability in the allocation of houses while the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode facilitates seamless and corruption-free fund transfers. The Union Minister proudly stated that this remarkable progress reflects the government’s commitment towards “9 Saal Be Misaal” development.
Furthermore, he shed light on the “remarkable accomplishments” recorded under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), announcing that a staggering 11 crore toilets have been successfully constructed across the country after the campaign was launched. This monumental achievement is a testament to the government’s unwavering dedication towards creating a clean and hygienic India, he asserted.
During his press briefing, the Union Law Minister highlighted the significant strides made under the Ayushman Bharat scheme and other crucial projects undertaken nationwide. The Ayushman Bharat scheme has revolutionised healthcare accessibility by providing financial protection and quality medical services to millions of Indians, he added.
Responding to questions by the media persons, Meghwal reaffirmed the government’s commitment towards rapid development, inclusive growth and welfare for all citizens. He also chaired a mega beneficiary Samelan at Rajdhani Thanamandi during his visit to the district which was attended by a large number of beneficiaries of the Central Government schemes.
Later, the Union Minister interacted with the locals and listened to their issues and concerns. He assured them that their problems would be addressed on a priority basis and directed the concerned officials to take necessary action. He asked the officers to make dedicated efforts to provide prompt and hassle-free services to the general public.
