Giving a thrust to his welfare model, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that his government does not look at the religion or caste of beneficiaries while reaching out to them with various schemes and welfare programmes and there is no greater social justice than working for the happiness and convenience of the masses.
He was in his home state Gujarat on Friday, for a day, to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for projects worth around ₹4,400 crore.
He also allotted houses to the poor under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which he said has become a tool for women’s empowerment as 70% of the 4 crore houses built for the poor under this scheme have been given to women.
