Here’s some wonderful news announced by our PM Narendra Modi. It is indeed amazing to hear that, 42 lakh senior citizens had voluntarily given up their railway concession in the past nine months while 1.25 crore families had surrendered their gas subsidy.
It would be even greater and more wonderful if all MP’s and MLA’s, give up their travel allowances and many more unnecessary allowances they enjoy. But it’s worst that they shamelessly continue to enjoy these allowances even after they are out of the rule.
PM Modi said “an environment of honesty has been fostered in the country and more and more people are coming forward to contribute to the nation building by voluntarily giving up on various subsidies and concessions”.
He said with his one request from the Red Fort to the well-off citizens to give up LPG subsidy, and 1.25 crore families gave up the benefit. “Here (in case of railway concessions) I had not announced anything. But the railways themselves on their form asked people if they would want to give up their senior citizen concessions…I am proud to say that in the past eight-nine months, 42 lakh elderly passengers have voluntarily given up their subsidy,” Modi said.
Adding benefits to pregnant women, he had requested the doctors of the country to treat pregnant women free of cost at least once in a month, following which thousands of medical practitioners had come forward. “And 1.25 crore pregnant women have been treated free-of-cost so far,” he said.
The Prime Minister had called a doctor who is working in the private sector to provide free antenatal services (ANC) on the 9th of every month on a voluntary basis to pregnant women, especially those living in under-served, semi-urban, poor and rural areas during his radio address in 2016.
“This shows the trust of the people on this government is increasing. People have this feeling that the tax we are paying, every single penny is being utilised for the purpose of development,” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister further said, “Our government has taken healthcare services beyond the boundaries of the health ministry and today the ministries of rural development, drinking water and sanitation, women and child development and Ayush have all got linked with the government’s vision to provide accessible and affordable health to all”.
Modi also talked about the two pillars of the Centre’s ambitious Ayushman Bharat, as part of which 1.5 lakh sub-centres that are being converted into health and wellness centres to provide screening for tuberculosis and leprosy, along with diabetes, hypertension, breast, oral and cervical cancers.
Adding about the “World’s largest insurance Scheme”, the National Health Protection Scheme which aims to provide a cover of Rs 5 lakh per family annually to 10 crore vulnerable families.
The foundation stone for which was laid by the PM, the “National Centre for Ageing” will provide state-of-the-art clinical care to the elderly population and lay a key role in guiding research in the field of geriatric medicine and related specialities. The centre will have 200 general ward beds, which will include 20 medical ICU beds. The centre will be developed at a cost of Rs 330 crore and will be completed by February 2020.
And again he is the Prime Minister who is criticized by the whole of the Anti-Indian media and the seculars of India. He is the same PM who is putting enough efforts to help those middle income and working class citizens to fight diseases with low cost or no cost. Let’s hope these schemes to get better by time and people rely trust on the PM Modi Government.
