Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi has said that the ultimate object of Mission Mangalam Scheme is women-empowerment, which aims to free them from the shackles of private money lenders, who are charging exorbitant interest from them. Lacs of women are being engaged in economic activities through self help groups (SHGs).

The GKM has ended mediator’s loot and tyranny, stated CM. Referring to the mass movement of Satyagrah, which ultimately made our country independent, he claimed that GKM is bound to achieve the laudable goal- the goal of Good Governance. Aankalav scored a double triumph today that Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi presided over the Garib Kalyan Mela and distributed welfare assistance to the tune of Rs 675 Lacs among 4534 beneficiaries, under various schemes.

The 50 Garib Kalyan Mela held in the recent past has infused confidence and hope among the poor, in this paradigm we have started holding Garib Kalyan Mela at Taluka places, just after passing of the State’s budget in the assembly, said CM. The service delivery mechanism has been transformed in to a dedicated force; they make concerted efforts to help the poor. It is basically about improving the living conditions of the poor, added CM.

Shri Narendra Modi called on for the change in mindset of implementing the schemes. He gave various examples, which had shown sheer lack of coordination, that the person who did not own a plot was given benefit of the dwelling-unit. Present Government is first allotting plot and then the dwelling-unit benefits. He made a fervent appeal to the poor to seek benefits of government scheme, and fighting out poverty with full of their strength and energy. State Government is always there with the poor to help them fighting the decisive battle against penury, he added.

A positive environment has been created, as there is no rush for acquiring BPL cards, but by economic empowerment of the poor, the poignant moment is to submit the BPL card. Education offers us immense strength to fight against poverty; he made an appeal to educate the children.

The ongoing Seva –Yagna is to continue, undeterred by the critics and organised groups of mediators, CM confidently said that the benefits and financial assistance would continue to reach the poor; no mediator or vested interest can derail the Seva-Yagna.

Lambasting the elements engaged in creating controversies about the financial-aid being given through the platform of GKM. CM criticised that when such elements were in power, they never bothered about serving the poor, but present government is heading with a vision of welfare and economic empowerment of the poor, such elements are triggering undue controversies. CM cautioned the poor to recognise such elements.

Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Shri Fakirbhai Vaghela announced that under the State Urban Mission a canal-linked water supply scheme for Aankalav town has been sanctioned at the project cost of Rs. 4.46 Cr. As many as 51000 beneficiaries would receive financial assistance worth Rs. 62 Cr through 12 Garib Kalyan Melas, he added. Deputy Chief Whip Shri Ambalal Rohit also addressed the gathering.

Earlier Collector Shri R.N. Joshi and DSP Shri A.K.Jadeja, eminent leaders, top officials were present.

On the occasion of National Youth Day, commemorating the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will participate in the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025 on 12th January, at around 10 AM, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. He will engage with 3,000 dynamic young leaders from across India. He will also address the gathering on the occasion.

The Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue aims to break the 25 year old tradition of holding the National Youth Festival in a conventional manner. It aligns with the Prime Minister's Independence Day call to engage 1 lakh youth in politics without political affiliations and provide them a national platform to make their ideas for Viksit Bharat, a reality. In line with this, on this National Youth Day, Prime Minister will participate in multiple activities designed to inspire, motivate, and empower the nation's future leaders. Innovative young leaders will make ten powerpoint presentations representing the ten thematic areas pivotal to India’s development before the Prime Minister. These presentations reflect the innovative ideas and solutions proposed by young leaders to address some of India's most pressing challenges.

Prime Minister will also release a compilation of best essays written by participants on the ten themes. These themes encompass diverse areas such as technology, sustainability, women empowerment, manufacturing, and agriculture.

In a unique setting, Prime Minister will join the young leaders for lunch, providing them an opportunity to share their ideas, experiences, and aspirations directly to him. This personal interaction will bridge the gap between governance and youth aspirations, fostering a deeper sense of ownership and responsibility among the participants.

During the Dialogue, which is starting from 11th January, the young leaders will engage in competitions, activities, and cultural and thematic presentations. It will also include deliberations on the themes led by mentors and domain experts. It will also witness cultural performances showcasing India's artistic heritage while symbolizing its modern advancements.

The 3,000 dynamic and motivated youth have been selected to participate in the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, through the Viksit Bharat Challenge, a meticulously crafted, merit-based multi level selection process to identify and showcase the most motivated and dynamic young voices from across the nation. It included three stages with participants ranging from 15 - 29 years. The first stage, Viksit Bharat Quiz, was conducted in 12 languages for youth from all states to take part, and saw participation of around 30 lakh young minds. Qualified quiz participants progressed to the 2nd stage, essay round, where they articulated their ideas on ten pivotal themes critical to realizing the vision of a "Viksit Bharat", which saw over 2 lakh essays being submitted. In the 3rd stage, State Rounds, 25 candidates per theme advanced to participate in rigorous in-person competitions. Each state identified its top three participants from each track, forming dynamic teams for the national event in Delhi.

1,500 participants from the Viksit Bharat Challenge Track, representing the top 500 teams from State Championships; 1,000 participants from the Traditional Track, chosen through state-level youth festivals, cultural programs, and exhibitions on innovation in science and technology; and 500 Pathbreakers, invited for their groundbreaking contributions in different areas will be participating in the Dialogue.
