Former MP Suresh Gopi inaugurated the district-level Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra aimed at creating awareness among people about the Centre’s welfare schemes at Parassala on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, he stressed on the potential of the initiative in informing marginalised sections of programmes that are being implemented by the Central government. He exhorted the public to realise the importance of the yatra and work for the betterment of all sections of the society.
Kerala lagged behind other States in delivering Central schemes to deserving beneficiaries, he claimed. Mr. Gopi also flagged off an IEC (Information, Education and Communication) van as part of the campaign. Gas connections were also distributed under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.
