Punjab Governor Banwari Lal Purohit on Tuesday urged the people to make collective efforts to realise the dream of Viksit Bharat by actively participating in Viksit Bharat Sankalap Yatra which aimed at delivering the benefit of welfare schemes at the doorsteps.

Accompanied by Deputy Commissioner Surabhi Malik, SSP Amneet Kondal, the Governor said that this initiative was launched by Government of India to reach out every single beneficiary eligible for these welfare schemes. He further mentioned that people should also join hands with the government and come forward to take maximum benefit of this scheme. 

Calling Punjabis open-hearted, warm, and hospitable, he stated that he is overwhelmed on being among the people of Punjab.

The Governor was apprised that as many as 941 gram Panchayats and 751 villages will be covered under this scheme as nearly 300 villages have already been covered so far. Likewise, about ten awareness vans are visiting the villages on a daily basis to spread the benefit of this scheme in the district. 

Earlier, a Pledge Taking ceremony was also held wherein beneficiaries present during the event vowed to work hard to realise the dream of making Viksit Bharat. 

During the facilitation camp about 18 departments including banks, health department, food and civil supplies, women and child development, rural development, etc. extended benefit of welfare schemes to eligible beneficiaries. 

Under this scheme, the IEC (Information, Education and Communication) Vans were covering rural areas of the district. Besides awareness drives, enrollment camps were also being held at village level to provide benefit of government schemes to people at doorsteps. Several government departments have been roped in for this task to ensure prompt benefit of government schemes to eligible beneficiaries.
