GUWAHATI: The nationwide outreach initiative, Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, designed to inform and empower citizens about the Central Government's flagship schemes, is currently ongoing in Assam.
The Yatra, which initially covered several Gram Panchayats across Baksa, Kokrajhar, Karbi Anglong, Dibrugarh, Morigaon, Nalbari, Barpeta, Darrang, Bajali, Udalgiri, and Sonitpur districts, has helped in spreading awareness and empowering individuals with knowledge about various social welfare and development programmes.
As the Yatra continues its journey, it is set to extend its reach to urban areas of Assam, covering approximately 146 locations.
Starting from November 28, the Yatra will commence in Kamrup Metro, Dhubri, and Kokrajhar districts, beginning at Panbazar and Chandmari in Guwahati.
Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra incorporates various Jan Bhagidari events, including experience-sharing sessions by scheme beneficiaries through "Meri Kahani Meri Zubani" and interactions with progressive farmers. Beyond spreading awareness about government schemes, the Yatra provides on-the-spot services to address the immediate needs of the community. Health camps, TB screening, anaemia screening, Ayushman card generation, PM Ujjwala new enrollment, and updation services are made available during the programme.
