Prayagraj, February 29: "Ensuring all citizens get benefit and justice is what is government's responsibility", said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday while addressing a public meeting at Samajik Sahakarita Shivir, Prayagraj. "Also it is the base of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas and sabka vishwas", he added.
After distributing assistive devices among Divyangjan and senior citizens, Modi noted that serving 130 crore people of the country is the only priority of his government. Hitting out at previous governments, he said they did not care for the Divyangjan but his dispensation was thinking about their problems and finding ways to reduce their issues.
पिछली सरकार के पाँच साल में जहां दिव्यांगजनों को 380 करोड़ रुपए से भी कम के उपकरण बांटे गए, वहीं हमारी सरकार ने 900 करोड़ रुपए से ज्यादा के उपकरण बांटे हैं। यानि करीब-करीब ढाई गुना: PM @narendramodi

"Previous governments organised very few camps to assist the Divyangjan, especially a mega camp like the one organised in Allahabad on Saturday. In the past 5 years, 9,000 camps in different parts of the country have been organised for the differently-abled and 2.5 times more aids have been distributed", he asserted.
नए भारत के निर्माण में हर दिव्यांग युवा, दिव्यांग बच्चे की उचित भागीदारी आवश्यक है। चाहे वो उद्योग हों, सेवा का क्षेत्र हो या फिर खेल का मैदान, दिव्यांगों के कौशल को निरंतर प्रोत्साहित किया जा रहा है: PM @narendramodi

Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, free treatment facilities up to Rs 5 lakh or insurance schemes have also been approved for the benefit of poor and the differently-abled. For the poorest of the poor, two schemes of insurance worth Rs 2 lakh each are being run.
"Proper participation of every differently abled youth, differently abled child is essential in the creation of a new India. Be it industry, service sector or sports field, the skills of the differently-abled are constantly being encouraged. Their admission to higher education institutions has also been increased from 3 percent to 5 percent. Skill development of our Divyang colleagues has also been our priority", PM signed off.
