Bharat’s current pace of progress in
every sector could lead the nation to become Viksit Bharat even before 2047,
insisted Union Minister Som Parkash on Thursday.
Addressing a gathering at the Ajram
village in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur, where the Viksit Bharat Sankalap Yatra Van
reached on Thursday, the Union Commerce and Industry Minister of State highlighted
the “strong connection” people have with this yatra, demonstrating
their commitment to make India a developed nation.
The Viksit Bharat Sankalap Yatra-VBSY is
currently going through many districts of Punjab, including Hoshiarpur.
Vans carrying information materials and
videos are making people aware of various central government schemes through
which eligible individuals can avail themselves of various benefits at their
doorstep, he said.
Som Parkash emphasised that it has been
the constant endeavour of the Prime Minister to ensure that the benefits of the Central Government schemes reach every eligible person.
Later, he distributed Ayushman cards to
some of the beneficiaries.
One of the women beneficiaries of the
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (Gramin) expressed her happiness at being able to
build her house with the financial help under this scheme.
