Lucknow. During the program organized at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while sharing the examples of Ayodhya and Sonbhadra, said that the government’s schemes are not limited to just assistance, but are laying a strong foundation to make people self-reliant.
Schemes to promote employment and self-employment
The Chief Minister said that ration card for food for the needy, Mission Rozgar for employment, PM Swanidhi for street vendors and PM Vishwakarma Yojana for traditional artisans have been implemented. Youth are being linked to PM Startup India and PM Standup India to start their own business. At the same time, training and opportunities are being provided to eligible youth for jobs and self-employment under PM Skill Development Scheme.
The story of self-reliance started from housing in Ayodhya
Giving the example of Ayodhya, Chief Minister Yogi said that a Scheduled Caste family had raised capital to build their house. During this time, he got a permanent house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. After this the family bought an e-rickshaw with the remaining capital. Today the son of the family is earning an income of about one thousand rupees daily and the entire family has become self-reliant.
Housing changed the financial condition of women in Sonbhadra
Sharing the example of Sonbhadra, the Chief Minister said that there a woman beneficiary started dairy farming with the remaining money after getting a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. This created a source of additional income and the husband and wife together were able to strengthen the financial condition of the family.
Basic facilities are available along with housing
Chief Minister Yogi said that along with the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, facilities like toilets, electricity connection, Ujjwala gas and Ayushman card are also being provided. This is giving the beneficiaries an opportunity to move towards complete self-reliance.
