The nation is celebrating the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to commemorate the Indian Independence.  As a part of this momentous occasion, Hon’ble Prime Minister will interact with the beneficiaries of about sixteen schemes/progammes spanning nine Ministries/Departments of the Government of India. The number of beneficiaries of many of the schemes runs in crores and in several cases in tens of crores. 

 

All these schemes address the poorest segments of population; therefore, the event is aptly named as “Garib Kalyan Sammelan”.  The principal objective of the interaction is not only to understand how these schemes have brought about ease of living for the citizens, but also to explore possibility of convergence and saturation.  This will also give an opportunity to assess the citizens’ aspiration for India as it completes 100 years of independence in the year 2047.

 

The Sammelan is one of the largest ever single-event nationwide interaction spanning all districts,wherein Hon’ble Prime Minster will interact with beneficiaries about the impact that the wide-ranging schemes/programmes covering housing, availability of potable water, food, health and nutrition, livelihood and financial inclusion etc., have had on their lives.  These schemes/programmes are:

 

(i)               Pradhan Mantri AwaasYojana (both Grameen & Urban)

(ii)             Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi

(iii)            Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana

(iv)           POSHAN Abhiyan

(v)             Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana

(vi)           Swachh Bharat Mission (both Grameen & Urban)
