Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that under the Deendayal Rasoi Yojana, food will be available at Rs.5 per thali instead of Rs.10. Mobile kitchens will soon be started in urban areas to provide food to labourers at an affordable rate near their work place. All the urban bodies of the state will be covered under this scheme. Deendayal Rasoi Yojana will be started in state’s Nagar Panchayats with a population of more than 20 thousand. Chief Minister Chouhan inaugurated the third phase of Deendayal Rasoi Yojana at Kushabhau Thackeray Auditorium, virtually inaugurated permanent Rasoi Kendras in 66 municipalities of the state and started distribution of land pattas for housing to more than 38 thousand homeless persons. The Chief Minister inaugurated the programme with kanya pujan and lighting of the lamp. Urban Development and Housing Minister Bhupendra Singh, Medical Education Minister Vishwas Sarang, Bhopal Mayor Malti Rai and other public representatives were present. Minister Bhupendra Singh welcomed Chief Minister Chouhan by presenting surjana and Tulsi saplings. All urban bodies joined the programme virtually.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that today is a historic day from the point of view of poor welfare. Our beloved Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay believed that Daridra hi Narayana hai and service to the poor is service to God. That is why under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our government is running many schemes for the welfare of the poor. Everyone has the right to the earth’s resources and it is our duty to give the poor their rights.
Chouhan said that we believe that whoever has come to earth should have land to live. Pattas are being given to the poor in the village under the Chief Minister’s Land Rights Scheme. Even in cities, no person will be left without land to live on. 23 thousand acres of land in the cities has been freed from mafia, on which Suraaj colonies are being developed. With the aim of providing housing to maximum number of families, arrangements have also been made to build multi-storeys. A campaign has been started to provide pattas to the occupants till the year 2020, they will also be given houses. Those poor deprived people whose names have been left out under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana will be provided houses under the Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana. No poor will remain without land and house in the state.
The Chief Minister said that the state government is making all-round arrangements for the welfare of the poor. Ration, house and land for housing, Deendayal Rasoi for food, Ayushman card for treatment, Teerth-Darshan scheme for senior people, various incentives for studies, arrangement of night shelters in cities and Mukhya Mantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana is being run. It is our resolve to ensure that no son or daughter of the poor will be deprived of education due to lack of money. The previous government had stopped the Sambal Yojana and pilgrimage and provision of bicycles, laptops, to students. Our government is running a campaign to change the lives of people under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Modi. Women are becoming self-reliant through the Ladli Bahna Yojana started in the state.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that we are running a family and not a government. We are a family of 9 crore people. Their happiness is our happiness, their sorrow is our sorrow. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan appealed to everyone to pray to God for good rains in the state. Till now the dams of the state have not been filled due to the rains. The demand for electricity is increasing, efforts are being made to fix all the arrangements.
