Bihar: PMAY, PM-KISAN emerging as boon for Vaishali residents, beneficiaries express gratitude
In Kushiyari Panchayat under Bidupur block, Jaikishun Thakur, a PMAY beneficiary, shared how the scheme has transformed his family's life.
"Earlier, during the rainy season, water used to drip into the house, and the children would be very upset. Now, with a pucca house, that problem is gone. We thank the Prime Minister for this," Thakur told IANS.
Similarly, farmers are finding PM-KISAN to be a crucial support for timely farming activities.
Randhir Kumar, a resident of Bidupur police station area, told IANS: "PM-KISAN is a very good scheme. The instalments come directly into our bank accounts, which helps us manage farming expenses on time. Earlier, we struggled due to a lack of funds, but now we can cultivate without delays. For this, we are thankful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central government."
The transformation stems from the vision laid out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2014 - to improve the living conditions of the poor by ensuring every household has a pucca home. This commitment led to the launch of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Urban (2015) and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (2016), bringing dignity and security to millions across India.
Likewise, PM-KISAN, launched in 2019, aims to provide assured income support to farmers. On August 2, 2025, Prime Minister Modi released the 20th instalment of the scheme from Varanasi, benefiting over 9.7 crore farmers nationwide. Through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), approximately Rs 20,500 crore was credited directly to beneficiaries, ensuring transparency and eliminating middlemen.
For the people of Vaishali, these schemes are not just government programmes—they are symbols of hope, stability, and empowerment. With such initiatives reaching the grassroots, the Central government's efforts are steadily reshaping rural life, one family at a time.

RSS Defends Defends PM Modi's Praise in Independence Day Speech After Cong Calls It Political Move
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech took a dramatic turn when he openly praised the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), calling it a force for unity and national integrity. The mention, welcomed by senior RSS leader Ram Madhav, has set off a political storm. While RSS supporters hailed the recognition ahead of its centenary celebrations in October, critics from the Congress and opposition accused the PM of politicizing the national stage. Ram Madhav defended Modi's remarks, stressing that the RSS and BJP are part of one ideological family, with the Sangh working in society and the BJP handling politics. He dismissed charges of friction, insisting that opponents only seek political mileage by targeting the RSS. As the organization approaches its 100th year, the Prime Minister's words have reignited old debates over nationalism, ideology, and the RSS's influence on India's governance. Read More

Noting that the government has rolled out multiple programmes for the welfare of labourers, particularly in the unorganised sector, the CM said, 'We will be soon implementing the Karnataka Labour Policy to ensure job security.' The state has made significant achievements in the services sector, which contributes 66.7 per cent to our GSDP, he said, 'We are not only safeguarding the interests of all workers engaged in this sector, but enacting 'Platform-Based Gig Workers Bill' for the welfare of over five lakh gig workers.' Under this Bill, the government is introducing an insurance scheme providing coverage of up to Rs 4 lakh for these workers, he added. The government is undertaking various initiatives for job creation, Siddaramaiah said and added that at Invest Karnataka-2025 (Global Investors Meet), held in February 2025, a total of 3,250 entrepreneurs participated. 'We signed agreements with 98 companies for investment of Rs 6,23,970 crore, and 1,101 companies have obtained necessary approvals for investments worth Rs 4,03,533 crore. These initiatives are expected to generate over 6 lakh jobs,' he said. In 2023-24, Karnataka attracted Rs 54,427 crore in foreign investment, ranking third in the country, Siddarmaiah said. 'In 2024-25, we have attracted Rs 56,030 crore, moving up to second place nationally,' he added. Stating that Karnataka is at the forefront in quantum technology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and biotechnology, Siddaramaiah said the country's first quantum computer is in Karnataka. 'Our Karnataka Quantum Mission will shape the future of science.' 'We are not merely creating jobs. We are creating ideas, inventions, and innovations that change lives. These ideas are reaching far beyond our borders,' he added.
