He further stated that he always believes that he is a “sevak” of the people of the country rather than a prime minister of a country. He also interacted with the beneficiaries of various government schemes at the ‘Garib Kalyan Sammelan’ as part of the events organised to commemorate the completion of eight years of his government. The Chief Ministers of all the states will be virtually connected for this programme.
The Sammelan conceptualises elected public representatives across the country directly interacting with the public in an endeavour to get feedback about the various welfare programmes being run by the government. During the Sammelan, the Prime Minister will directly interact with the beneficiaries of different programmes of nine ministries/departments of the Government of India.
On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a series of welfare measures for children who have lost their parents or guardians to Covid, including financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh, a dedicated helpline, and health cover of Rs 5 lakh through Ayushman cards.
Drawing a comparison between government schemes during his tenure and times before 2014, PM Modi said: “(Earlier) talks used to be about schemes that never found its way. Nepotism and scams were rampant. However, today, talks are about benefits from govt schemes... Today India's start-ups are being talked about globally. Even the World Bank talks about India's Ease of Doing Business policies.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in Shimla, said: “In the last 8 years...not even once did I vision myself as the PM. Only when I sign documents do I have the responsibility of PM but as soon as the file is gone, I'm no longer a PM... I'm just a Pradhan Sevak of 130 crore people who are everything in my life.”
