Anantnag resonates with the transformative spirit of Viksit Bharat@2047 as the Viksit Bharat Urban Yatra sweeps through its streets, symbolizing a significant stride towards a brighter future for all Indians. Launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 15, 2023, this yatra under Viksit Bharat Sankalp signifies a monumental step towards development and empowerment.
In both Urban and Rural areas of Anantnag, the ongoing yatra aims to achieve the saturation of welfare programs initiated by the Government of India. The urban chapter in historic Anantnag town included various events across the premises of Government Girls Higher Secondary School Ranibagh.
The specially designed Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) van disseminated awareness about developmental initiatives, while the camps provided vital services such as free health checkups, on-the-spot Aadhaar card issuance, updates, and Ayushman Bharat health card issuance. Residents actively participated in these camps, showcasing their dedication to welfare schemes.
During the event, participants pledged to the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, emphasizing the collective goal of a developed and self-reliant India by 2047. An interactive quiz competition engaged attendees in the mission.
With a goal to cover over 335 lakh Gram Panchayats and 10 urban local bodies of District Anantnag by January 25, 2024, the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra aims to touch every part of the district, fostering awareness and participation in vital welfare schemes spanning sanitation, essential financial services, electricity, access to LPG cylinders, housing for the poor, food security, and healthcare.
