Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], June 9 : Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday unveiled the audio clips of the "Meri Yojana" (My Scheme) book prepared by the Programme Implementation Department at the Secretariat.
On the occasion, he said that the book compiles welfare schemes of various departments in one place, enabling citizens to access information about government schemes more easily.
The Chief Minister stated that the book presents details of Central and State Government welfare schemes, along with self-employment, skill development, education, and other important initiatives, in simple and accessible language. It includes information on eligibility criteria, benefits, and application procedures. He directed officials to continue introducing innovative measures to ensure that the benefits of welfare schemes reach the last person in society and to issue government orders in language that is easily understandable for the general public.
Dhami said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the longest-serving elected Prime Minister of India. Under his leadership, the country is achieving new milestones in development and moving rapidly towards realising the vision of a Developed India. The Central Government is strengthening the foundation of the nation's progress through new laws and policies.
He added that Uttarakhand has received special support under the Prime Minister's leadership, with continuous financial assistance from the Centre for developmental projects. As a result, significant progress has been made in road, rail and air connectivity, healthcare, education, and infrastructure, ensuring that development reaches even the remotest regions.
