In the first batch of beneficiaries of the PM-JANMAN package for the development of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs), the government has found women who are turning messengers to help the administration take the benefits of the package to the remotest of their community members.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday released the first instalment of funds for pucca houses under the the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN). He also interacted with some of these beneficiaries, who included women such as Mankunwari Bai, 41, of the Pahari Korba tribe in Jashpur (Chhattisgarh), who has become a Janman Sangi (volunteer) and is going door to door educating her people about the schemes under the package.
