Source: Chronicle News Service / DIPR

Imphal, May 31 2022: Chief Minister N Biren attended the state level function of 'Garib Kalyan Sammelan' and joined the Prime Minister's interaction with beneficiaries of various schemes/programmes, from City Convention, here on Tuesday.

The CM was virtually connected with the programme held in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh where the Prime Minister addressed the Garib Kalyan Sammelan.

Addressing the gathering, CM Biren said that the 'Sammelan' is a meaningful function as it is organised to get feedback on the various centrally sponsored schemes introduced over the last 8 years.

Highlighting the Prime Minister's efforts and schemes during the COVID-19 pandemic to help the people of the country, the CM said the PM Modi is the real friend for all Indians.

He also highlighted some of the schemes launched for the benefit of the people by PM Modi.

Stating that the Prime Minister always thinks for the people of the country, especially the poor, Biren also said that the state government's main objective is to achieve saturation of all the welfare schemes launched by the government and to ensure last mile delivery of scheme benefits.

It is the reason behind his government's Go to Village and Go to Hills missions.

It is also the reason why the government placed Prabharis in all 68 blocks of the state, he added.

Highlighting achievements of centrally sponsored schemes being implemented in the state, he said that under PMAY (Grameen), pucca houses are being built with release of fund in three installments.

A total of 29,386 houses have been targeted under Phase I, Phase II (2019-20), Phase II (2020-21) and Phase II (2021-22), out of which 14,886 have been completed so far.

Under PMAY (Urban), 55,804 houses were approved and Rs 333.12 crore released out of which 4,486 houses have been completed, he said.

Under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, a beneficiary gets Rs 6,000 per year through DBT in three installments.

Out of 6,19,2018 registered beneficiaries, 5,08,410 have received payment till date, the CM elaborated.

The CM also said that 1,59,555 LPG connections have already been provided in the state under the PM Ujjwala Yojana launched in 2016 and another 28,083 LPG connections have been provided under Ujjwala 2.0 launched in 2021 .

A total of 11,510 Anganwadi centres have been registered under Poshan Abhiyan.

Smartphones and growth monitoring devices have also been distributed to Anganwadi centres, he added.

Biren also said that under the PM Matru Vandana Yojana which provides Rs 5,000 to pregnant and lactating mothers in three installments, there are 56,982 beneficiaries and altogether Rs 24.27 crore has been already disbursed.

The state has been declared open defecation-free status in 2018 under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) launched in 2014 and 4,51,566 Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs) and 102 community sanitary complexes have been constructed till date.

Out of the targeted 43,644 beneficiaries, 39,245 beneficiaries have access to sanitary latrines under Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban), he said.

Biren also highlighted that under Jal Jeevan Mission, the Prime Minister is aiming to provide drinking water to every household in the country by 2024, but for Manipur, the government is trying to reach the target much earlier.

JJM projects are being taken up in 2,256 villages covering 4,51,566 rural households.

Only 6 per cent of the total households of the state had access to tap water when JJM was launched in 2019 but it has now reached 69 percent.

Altogether 380 villages have become Har Ghar Jal village with 100 per cent tap connections, he added.

A film showcasing the achievements of various government schemes was also screened during the function.

Select beneficiaries of government schemes also shared their experiences during the function.

They thanked and lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N Biren for working towards ensuring their welfare and also for introducing the schemes.

Lamsang MLA S Rajen, Langthabal MLA Karam Shyam, chief secretary Dr Rajesh Kumar and DGP P Doungel also attended the programme as dais members.
