New Delhi, Jun 08: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday highlighted that over the last 12 years, India has witnessed many transformations, stating that at the core of these changes is the welfare of the poor and downtrodden, with every initiative driven by the simple objective of ensuring people have dignity and opportunity.
In a series of posts on X, the Prime Minister noted that the government has always been inspired by Antyodaya, and its effort has always been to ensure that the benefits of development reach those who were left behind for decades. “From Jan Dhan accounts and Direct Benefit Transfer to Swachh Bharat, PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, Ayushman Bharat and more, every initiative has been driven by a simple objective of ensuring people have dignity and opportunity,” PM Modi said, using the hashtag #12YearsOfGaribKalyan.
The Prime Minister expressed gladness that technology has played a vital role in ensuring a better quality of life for the poor, pointing out that through Direct Benefit Transfer and digital platforms, support is reaching people directly and transparently. He affirmed that this has reduced leakages, improved efficiency, and strengthened trust in governance, adding that this is how the journey of furthering Garib Kalyan has become a collective movement towards human empowerment and realising the dream of a Viksit Bharat.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that Garib Kalyan is the topmost priority of the Modi government. In a post on X, Shah said, “In #12YearsOfGaribKalyan, the government has connected crores of citizens to banking facilities, financial security, and self-employment opportunities through welfare schemes like the Ann Yojana, PM Awas, Jan-Dhan, Mudra Loan, and PM Swanidhi. By integrating the country’s poor into the economic mainstream through basic infrastructure, social security, and a better standard of living, a strong foundation for a ‘Viksit Bharat’ is being built.”
