Delhi, April 20 (HS): union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Singh Thakur has said that the Modi government has set a great example of women led development in India by moving ahead with women empowerment. Making Draupadi Murmu the President of the country and giving 33 percent reservation to women in the legislatures of the country are excellent examples of this. Anurag Thakur said these things during his stay in Himachal Pradesh on Saturday in Mahila Morcha and SC Morcha conferences organized in Sujanpur and Bhoranj assembly.
On this occasion, Anurag Thakur said that women are an essential pillar among the four nectar pillars of developed India. With the aim of making women economically self-reliant, the Modi government has launched more than 25 schemes in the last 10 years, which have benefited more than 20 crore women, more than 5 crore girl students and more than 11 crore working women. Is. Anurag Thakur said that Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri-Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) has so far made 30 crore Ayushman cards across the country. Out of this, about 14.6 crore Ayushman cards have been made for women. Of the 4 crore houses given in rural and urban areas of the country under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 70 percent of the house owners or joint owners are women.
He said that the number of bank accounts opened under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana has crossed 51 crore. The amount deposited in these accounts is more than Rs 2.08 lakh crore. Of these accounts, 56 percent accounts belong to women and 67 percent accounts have been opened in rural and semi-urban areas. Today, due to the effect of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao scheme, the number of daughters is increasing compared to the birth of sons. Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana of the Postal Department is very helpful in making financial plans for daughters, from education and career to marriage. Every year 33 lakh Sukanya Samriddhi accounts are opened. So far three crore seven lakh accounts have been opened.
Anurag Thakur further discussed about the development of his parliamentary constituency Hamirpur and said that who would have thought that in the same parliamentary constituency there will be AIIMS, PGI, two medical colleges, Kendriya Vidyalaya, Central University. There will also be triple IT, there will be NIT, there will be hydro engineering college, there will be four lane highway in every district, there will be Vande Bharat train. All this has been possible only under the leadership of Bharatiya Janata Party. I have full confidence that when the results will be declared on 4th, a government will be formed in the country under the leadership of Narendra Modi and BJP government will be formed in the state also. Double engine government will run again in Himachal Pradesh.
Anurag Thakur said that today maximum number of thugs have gathered in Indi Alliance. There are serious allegations of corruption against all of them. Many of their leaders are either in jail or out on bail. These people say that if BJP comes for the third time, the Constitution will be in danger. The real thing is that when Modi government comes for the third time, the corrupt will be eliminated. In the third term of Modi, we will make the country the third largest economy in the world and by 2047 our India will become a developed nation.
