Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan on Wednesday said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, various welfare schemes for the poor are being effectively implemented across the country and are transforming lives. 

Mahajan inaugurated the Seva Fortnight under the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Revenue Mission at Mahakavi Kalidas Kalamandir. He said that the fortnight has been organised to mark the prime minister’s birthday and will feature programmes in three phases. 

On the occasion, the Swasthya Nari – Sashakta Pariwar Abhiyan was launched under the National Health Mission, alongside a live broadcast of Modi’s address from Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. Dignitaries distributed the benefits of several schemes, including ration cards, Sanjay Gandhi Yojana approval letters, Jeevan Satbara, and forest pattas, to district beneficiaries. 

Mahajan said that by 2027, no citizen will remain without a house, and all will receive housing as a right. Benefits such as water supply, toilets, solar energy, health insurance, Ujjwala gas, and free foodgrains are also being provided. He appealed to women to avail themselves of the Swasthya Nari – Sashakta Pariwar Abhiyan.
