Kokrajhar prepares for Prime Minister's interaction programme

OUR CORRESPONDENT

KOKRAJHAR: The nation is celebrating the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to commemorate the Indian Independence. As a part of this momentous occasion, the Prime Minister will interact with the beneficiaries of about sixteen schemes. All these schemes address the poorest segments of the population; therefore, the event is aptly named as 'Garib Kalyan Sammelan'. The principal objective of the interaction is not only to understand how these schemes have brought about ease of living for the citizens, but also to explore possibility of convergence and saturation. This will also give an opportunity to assess the citizens' aspirations for India as it completes 100 years of independence in the year 2047.

The Sammelan is one of the largest ever single-event nationwide interaction spanning all districts, wherein the Prime Minster will interact with beneficiaries about the impact that the wide-ranging schemes covering housing, availability of potable water, food, health and nutrition, livelihood and financial inclusion etc., have had on their lives.

Kokrajhar district is proud to be a part of this august event and has made all the necessary arrangements for the programme to be held at the Auditorium of Science College, Kokrajhar from 9am onwards. The event will be presided over by Pramod Boro, Chief Executive Member of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) and will also be attended by dignitaries like MP, MLAs, EMs and MCLAs of BTC, Deputy Commissioner, Superintendent of Police and the heads of department concerned.

The District level event will be linked with the National event at 11am when Prime Minister will be from Shimla interacting with the beneficiaries with the country. The national level Sammelan is being held at Shimla on May 31 wherein Prime Minister will directly interact with the beneficiaries. The Prime Minister will also release the 11th instalment of the Kisan Samman Nidhi. Prime Minister will also interact with some of the beneficiaries spread across the country through video conferencing.
