Shri Shripad Naik, Union Minister of State for Tourism, Ports, Shipping and Waterways, and Shri. Rajesh Faldessai, MLA from Cumbarjua attended the live telecast of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interaction with the beneficiaries of central government schemes from across the country, at Carambolim panchayat hall, Tiswadi, today, 16 December, 2023. The event was held as part of the ongoing Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY) which received warm welcome in the village panchayat. VBSY is being undertaken across the country to attain saturation of flagship schemes of the government by ensuring that the benefits of these schemes reach all targeted beneficiaries in a time-bound manner.

Addressing the gathering at the event, Minister Shripad Naik said that it is the dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make India a super power by 2047. “But I am sure that the country will be a super power even before 2047 under the able leadership of the PM,” he said. “The Sankalp Yatra is meant to create awareness among the public about the developmental works and welfare schemes brought out by the Modi government in the last 10 years. The yatra will visit all the panchayats in Goa, thus informing every person of the State about the benefits of government schemes. I appreciate all those who are working behind this campaign,” he said.

Talking about the VBSY, Rajesh Faldessai MLA said that the yatra had got tremendous response from his constituency. “All the people in the constituency have to take benefit of the schemes. If we keep on moving ahead in this pace, India will become a developed country by 2047. Schemes are for the benefits of the people, and the benefits should reach each and every person. I have requested all our panch members and sarpanchas to inform each and every household about the yatra and make maximum benefits out of it,” he said.

“We have assigned one officer with the task of coming to the office every Monday to help the people to fill the forms for the central schemes. We assure that under the able guidance of the Prime Minister and our Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant, our country will attain the target,” the MLA said.

At the program, a VBSY pledge was taken by all the dignitaries and the other attendees. A health camp was also organised as part of the event with the support of the Directorate of Health Services, government of Goa.

Thousands of VBSY beneficiaries from across the country virtually joined the nation-wide program. More than 2,000 VBSY vans, thousands of Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Common Service Centres, and panchayats from across the country were also connected during the program. A large number of Union ministers, MPs, MLAs and local-level representatives also joined the programme from different locations.

Prime Minister Modi, while interacting with beneficiaries via video conferencing, said that the ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’ vehicle is now reaching all parts of the country. In its one-month journey, the Prime Minister informed that VBSY has reached thousands of villages as well as 1500 cities which include smaller cities and towns. He noted the enthusiasm and competition for welcoming the ‘Modi Ki Guarantee ki Gadi’ during his interaction with the beneficiaries.
