BISHNAH: A public awareness meeting under the campaign “Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)” was organized by the BJP Jammu Border District at Bishnah to spread awareness about Central Government schemes aimed at rural development, employment, and livelihood generation.

The meeting was addressed by BJP Jammu & Kashmir General Secretary and Convener of VB–G RAM G (Rural), Baldev Singh Billawaria, who was the main speaker on the occasion. Local MLA Rajeev Bhagat, Jammu Border In-charge Rajinder Singh Chib, and J&K BJP Kisan Morcha President Shri Rakesh Pant were also present and addressed the gathering.

Speaking on the occasion, Baldev Singh Billawaria said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central Government is consistently implementing impactful policies and schemes to empower rural India, promote self-reliance, and create sustainable employment opportunities. Reacting strongly to the remarks made by the Congress regarding the Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin), Billawaria termed their attempt to link this welfare initiative with “Ram Naam” as unfortunate and misleading.

He clarified that “VB G-RAM-G” does not represent any individual or emotional symbol, but reflects the Government’s commitment towards rural employment, livelihood empowerment, and building a self-reliant India. He said that while the BJP works above political considerations with the sole objective of public service and nation-building, the Congress continues to view even development-oriented schemes through a narrow political lens.

Billawaria added that people across the country have now clearly understood such misleading attempts and are firmly standing with development, employment generation, and good governance. He emphasized that schemes like the Employment Guarantee and Ajeevika Mission will prove to be milestones in economically empowering rural youth, women, farmers, laborers, self-help groups, and marginalized sections of society. He further clarified that the objective of these initiatives is not just wage support, but the creation of sustainable employment and self-employment opportunities in rural areas.

Urging party workers to play an active role, Billawaria called upon them to spread awareness about Central Government welfare schemes door to door and ensure maximum public participation. He said that the dream of Viksit Bharat can only be realized through strong organizational efforts and effective grassroots outreach.

Addressing the gathering, MLA Rajeev Bhagat highlighted the importance of coordinated efforts, regular monitoring, and extensive public outreach to ensure the successful implementation of government schemes. He said that this awareness campaign would act as a strong platform to connect villages with development initiatives and translate the vision of a developed India into reality at the grassroots level.

The meeting also witnessed detailed discussions on the roadmap for upcoming programs and activities. It was unanimously decided that party workers would further intensify the campaign at the grassroots to ensure that the benefits of government schemes reach the last person in society.
