Modi also met with individuals from several states who had benefited from various government programmes.
Interacting with one such recipient, he stated that the country's 'atmanirbhar' (self-sufficient) women are not only supporting themselves, but also becoming a blessing to others.
Modi stated that his government is working tirelessly for such dedicated and hardworking individuals.
"Our street vendors and hawkers had become hopeless. They had accepted that they had to live like this only, they thought nothing was going to change. No one was there to ask them anything. Our government connected them with the banking system. They are getting easier loans from banks under the PM SVANidhi scheme. More than 50 lakh such people have been benefitted from it. During this yatra, 1.25 lakh people have applied for the scheme. More than 75% of the beneficiaries of the PM SVANidhi scheme are Dalit, backwards and tribal. And in that too, 45% are women," he stated.
