PM Modi Schemes

        *** PM Modi Schemes ***

                   It was in the year 2014 when Mr. Narendra Modi was elected as the Prime Minister of the country. It has been two years now and there are a no. of schemes launched under his name. The most talked about were the Make in India Mission and Smart City. Make in India Mission invites companies, not only Indian, but everywhere the planet to 'produce' in India. With time India has emerged as service provider. In order to compete with the planet economy we'd like to develop our manufacture sector also. This would lessen India's reliance on other manufacturing countries, especially within the field of defense. In Smart City Scheme, PM declared to rework a minimum of ten cities, within the first phase, into smart cities. These cities will have the best facilities of education, health, safety, law and order, sanitation and others. The scheme is vast and time consuming. Smart cities are not formed in a single day by the administration alone. It requires full-fledged co-operation from the citizens. Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana is analogous the Smart City. The difference is that every Member of Parliament is asked to adopt a village and develop it as a perfect village for the society. Ideal village includes schools for all children, proper water and electricity supplies, smoke free kitchen, etc. These two schemes require not only good management social awareness and mass contribution too.

Another scheme that has a similar demand is the Swachh Bharat Mission announced by PM Modi on the Independence Day. The Mission calls the citizens of India to keep the country clean. Just like ice bucket challenge, he nominated people from different field to wash roads and spread the message. He himself cleaned the streets on the day of inauguration. Scheme also includes building toilets in each household for the convenience of the people, especially women. The scheme has been successful in arousing consciousness among the people and can little question achieve success till the year 2022. School nursery scheme focuses on developing a bond among students and nature to get a sustainable and healthy environment. It aims at including tree planting and nurturing in the school curriculum. This is an innovative idea of bringing young generation almost nature and making them sensitive towards the present environmental conditions. Schools have welcomed this scheme enthusiastically and saplings have already been distributed to around hundred schools. The scheme is sweet but it requires more push to realize popularity and proper implementation into the curriculum.

The advancements, taken place in recent years, are only constrained to the urban areas. Illiteracy and poverty are still deep rooted in rural areas. To ensure subsidy benefits to the poor, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana was launched. This enabled the people all over the country to open bank account with balance as low as a rupee. With high participation of public sector banks millions of accounts were opened with some having a minimum balance of about fifteen hundred rupees. The scheme got success within a brief period of your time . Opening bank accounts will facilitate loans, ensure savings with interest and also will enable poor families to take advantage of other insurance and subsidy schemes started by the government without facing corruption.

Pradahan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Beema Yojana provides life insurance and insurance for loss from accidents at a premium of about rupees 330 per annum and rupees 12 per annum respectively. They provide a cover of maximum 2lakh rupees individually. Non- government workers, especially women, at adulthood are neither ready to earn a living nor have much saving to steer a cushty adulthood . To help such people Atal Pension Yojana was launched. This would provide a minimum pension to all the needy senior citizens. These schemes prove a great relief for the unorganized sector. Laborers, drivers, private security guards and bodyguards are the people who are always at high risk of accidents and could seldom afford such facilities.

                   To encourage and protect girl child, Sukanya Smaridhi Yojana opens a bank account for girls below ten years and saves money for her. This money could be used for her marriage or higher studies after she attains an age of 21 years.

Digital India, though performing at slow pace, promises digitalization of state offices for transparency and efficient work operation. Digi Locker supports Digital India scheme. Digi Locker helps an individual to store his personal documents during a digital space provided by the govt . This will help users during online application of forms and other services.

There are many more schemes launched or to be launched and they cover people from all the segments of the society. Such schemes raise the standard of living of the people and helps in building a strong economy hence, a strong nation.
