Yatra L Murugan Nilgiris Salem Tiruvannamalai Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra Birsa Munda India Tamil Nadu Jharkhand

Union Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, Diary, Information and Broadcasting L. Murugan said that Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, which will be inaugurated in Ranchi in Jharkhand on November 15 (tribal icon Birsa Munda’s birthday), will be kickstarted in Tamil Nadu in three districts – Salem, Tiruvannamalai, and Nilgiris. The yatra will continue until January 25, 2024 across India.

Mr. Murugan said that the yatra will go through 145 tribal villages in Salem, 103 villages in Tiruvannamalai, and 11 villages in Nilgiris districts.

The Yatra will seek to highlight the achievements of PM Narendra Modi’s nine-year tenure focussing on schemes such as PM SVANidhi scheme (micro-credit to street vendors), Ayushman Bharat Yojana, PM Ujjwala Scheme (free gas cylinders). Mr. Murugan further said that DD Podhigai will be relaunched as DD Tamil with new programming for Pongal next year.
