Sandeep Singh said that under the leadership of Prime

Minister Narendra Modi, the pledge of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka

Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas has been realized on the ground in the last 12

years. The government has developed a transparent system based on DBT and

Aadhaar to deliver benefits of schemes directly to eligible beneficiaries. As a

approximately Rs. 4.31 lakh crore have been ensured.

He said that through the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna

Yojana, free rations were provided to over 81 crore people. Under the Jan Dhan

Yojana, over 58 crore bank accounts were opened, including those of over 32

crore women. Under the Mudra Yojana, over 57 crore loans have been sanctioned,

providing self-employment opportunities to millions of youth and entrepreneurs.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, farmers

across the country are receiving assistance of Rs. 6,000 per year directly into

their accounts. So far, more than Rs. 4.3 lakh crore has been transferred to

over 11 crore farmers. The expansion of the Kisan Credit Card Scheme has

provided farmers with affordable loans, strengthening the agriculture sector.

He said that through the Ayushman Bharat scheme, millions of

poor families have received free health coverage. More than 600 million

Ayushman cards have been issued nationwide. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas

Yojana, more than 40 million families have been provided with permanent

housing, while nearly 110 million women have been provided free LPG connections

through the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.

Sandeep Singh said that the Digital India campaign, led by

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given new impetus to the country's

development journey. Through the BharatNet project, 2.14 lakh gram panchayats

have been connected with broadband connectivity. Government schemes are now

monitored through digital dashboards, ensuring transparency and accountability.

He added that the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has made the government

procurement process more transparent and effective.

Referring to achievements in the field of health and

sanitation, he said that 23 new AIIMS and medical institutions have been

approved in the country. More than 54 million children have been vaccinated

under Mission Indradhanush. The Swachh Bharat Mission has brought about

Meanwhile, the Jal Jeevan Mission has provided access to pure drinking water to

more than 160 million households.

Minister Singh said that the 12 years of the central

government are not just a record of achievements, but a strong foundation for

building a developed India. Today, India is confidently moving forward towards

becoming a developed nation, based on the welfare of the poor, women's

empowerment, farmer prosperity, digital transformation, and good governance.

On this occasion, he mentioned the effective implementation

of central and state government schemes in Mathura district and said that more
