Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set an example by not just flagging ground-level problems but also ensuring their solution. The Union Communications Minister was speaking after inaugurating the New Delhi Municipal Council’s (NDMC) Ayushman Arogya Mandir at Babar Road on the occasion of PM Modi’s 75th birthday.
He also launched a mega health camp under the Centre’s 15-day ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar’ campaign, aimed at improving women’s health and nutrition. Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa was also present on the occasion.
“Maybe for the first time in our history we have such a Prime Minister who not only raised ground-level problems but also gave solutions for those problems,” Scindia said, citing the distribution of over 50 crore sanitary pads, each priced at Rs 1, through Jan Aushadhi Kendras.
“We are on the path of development now but we cannot achieve our goals until half of the population is with us. That is why the prime minister has always called for women’s empowerment,” he said.
On the occasion, Chairman, NDMC Keshav Chandra informed that under the Sewa Pakhwada, the health camps at the seven sites in New Delhi area provide the facility of cancer screening, immunisation, anaemia, sickle cell, tuberculosis testing facilities, nutrition, registration for Ayushman, Aabha & PM-Jay portals.
