Gujarat: CM launches Jan Suraksha Santrupti Abhiyan from Gandhinagar
According to the Gujarat CMO, the government is committed to ensuring that no eligible individual is left out of the benefits of social security schemes under the Prime Minister's leadership.
Patel further stressed that the administration is actively identifying and reaching out to underserved beneficiaries at their doorsteps to extend the full range of socio-economic entitlements.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's citizen-welfare-oriented approach, Jan Suraksha Santrupti Abhiyan, which commenced nationwide, was launched by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel from Gandhinagar, in the presence of Finance Minister Shri Kanubhai Desai.
Jan Suraksha Santrupti Abhiyan, which will run from July 1 to September 30, aims to ensure that all eligible citizens receive the benefits of key social security schemes, promoting a safe and dignified life. At the launch event, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel distributed Rs 2 lakh cheques to three beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and handed over a Jan Dhan Yojana passbook to another beneficiary.
He stated that it is the state's social responsibility to make sure the benefits of the government's welfare schemes reach the underprivileged who remain deprived. He further emphasised the need to contribute to the socio-economic upliftment of such individuals and to bring the last person in the line into the mainstream of development, describing it as a noble opportunity to serve and uplift.
CM Patel urged everyone to help fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a Viksit Bharat by ensuring that welfare benefits reach the needy and the last person, contributing to a Viksit Gujarat.
The Chief Minister directed district collectors, DDOs, urban authorities, and bank officials to prepare district action plans to achieve the saturation targets of welfare schemes under Jan Suraksha Santrupti Abhiyan.
The Finance Department's Principal Secretary, T Natarajan, outlined the campaign's objective and shared key data on financial inclusion schemes in Gujarat. He stated that the campaign would cover schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, Atal Pension Yojana, KYC updates for Jan Dhan accounts, opening new accounts for non-financially active adults, and raising awareness about digital fraud prevention.
He informed that Gujarat has opened 1.93 crore Jan Dhan accounts, through which Rs 21,409 crore in DBT benefits have been transferred. Around 90 lakh beneficiaries are covered under PM Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, and 1.92 crore under PM Suraksha Bima Yojana.
At the campaign launch, district collectors, DDOs, lead bankers, and villagers from Pundrasan (Gandhinagar) joined via video conference.(ANI)

From Nehru's ‘blunders' to Trump claims: PM address in Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday addressed the Lok Sabha during the debate on Operation Sindoor and lauded the armed forces and the people of the country for their support. PM Modi spoke on the military action under Operation Sindoor, and the international support for India during that time. (Sansad TV/ANI Grab) The Prime Minister addressed United States President Donald Trump's claims that he brokered the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, a key concern raised by Opposition parties. PM Modi also spoke on the military action under Operation Sindoor, and the international support for the country during that time. Here are the top quotes from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech on Operation Sindoor: 📌"On the intervening night of May 6-7, India undertook military action just as decided. Pakistan could not do anything. Our armed forces avenged April 22 within 22 minutes with precision attacks." 📌"Yesterday, our armed forces killed Pahalgam attackers under Operation Mahadev. But I'm astonished that people here laughed and asked 'Why did this only happen yesterday?' Was 'saawan ka somvaar' sought for the operation? What is wrong with these people? A disappointment to this extent? For the past many weeks, there were questions like 'What about Pahalgam terrorists', but now, they are questioning the timing of the operation." 📌"After April 22, I said that it was our commitment, we will eliminate the terrorists, and I said it publicly that their orchestrators would also be their imagination. We are proud that terrorists were given such punishment that even today, their sponsors face sleepless nights." 📌"India showed its technological prowess by targeting Pakistan. We dealt a huge blow to Pakistan's assets and airbases, and many of their airbases are still kept in ICUs." 📌"Today, those asking why we haven't taken back PoK yet ... I ask them in return: whose government allowed Pakistan to occupy PoK in the first place?...Indus Water Treaty was entered into by Nehru. ..Nehru agreed to give 80 per cent water to Pakistan from rivers originating in India, leaving just 20 per cent for a large country like ours. Who was behind the Indus Waters Treaty? Nehru was. The treaty was a betrayal to the country." 📌"The world has seen the scale of our military action – from Sindoor to Sindhu. Operation Sindoor established three things – first, if India faces a terror attack, we will respond in our time, our manner and on our terms. Second, nuclear blackmail will not work. Thirdly, terrorists and the government sponsoring them will not be seen separately." 📌"No country in the world has stopped India from exercising its right to self-defence. Out of 193 countries, only 3 supported Pakistan. Whether it be Quad, BRICS, France, Germany, Russia, the whole world supported India. While we received international support, it is unfortunate that my country's heroes did not get the backing of the Congress party." 📌"After the attacks, Pakistan made a a request in front of the DGMO, 'Bas karo... bahut maara (Stop have hit enough), now we don't have the strength to take any more beating, please stop the attack." 📌"US Vice President (JD Vance) tried to contact me 3-4 times, but I was busy with meetings with the armed forces. When I returned the call, the US Vice President warned me of a big attack from Pakistan. I told him that if Pakistan attacks India, our attack would be much bigger. 'Hum goli ja jawab gole se denge (We will respond to bullets with missiles).'" 📌"Today, Pakistan knows well that India's response gets stronger each time. It knows that if such incidents recur, India is prepared to do anything. And therefore I want to repeat in the temple of democracy, Operation Sindoor continues. If Pakistan tries to misbehave, we will give them a befitting response."
