Gajapati admn launches campaign to benefit tribal groups
Berhampur: To reach out to tribals, especially those belonging to the particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG), the Gajapati administration will launch a campaign to organise camps and gram sabhas in their habitations across the district from Thursday.
The camps will be held to tell them about the benefits under Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA). These will be held in 345 villages under 86 panchayats of seven blocks, said collector (Gajapati) Bijay Kumar Dash. The campaign will be held till the month-end.
Tribals will be told about 25 different programmes under 17 ministries to ensure that they receive benefits under these schemes, he said.
The major schemes include Ayushman Bharat health scheme, Pradhan Mantri Kisan, Aadhar enrollment, labour registrations and cooking gas connection under Ujjwala scheme, and electrification. The govt has asked district authorities to launch such awareness campaign in tribal pockets and ensure the govt initiatives reach remote tribal areas.
Ashutosh Mohapatra, project administrator, Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Paralakhemundi, said the camps will be attended by officers of the line departments to ensure the redressal of individuals' problems.
During this period, gram sabhas will also be held to approve village or community-level grievances and send them to district authorities. Some of these include community forest rights, electrification of the village, establishment of anganwadi centres, construction of roads and supply of drinking water, sources said.
He said last year they held camps under the PM-JANMAN in 143 villages in the district. The DA-JGUA, a national-level initiative, was launched by the Union ministry of tribal affairs on Oct 2, 2024. The initiative aims to offer access to health, education, basic infrastructure, and livelihood opportunities for the tribal population, said Mohapatra.

Under Modi's leadership J&K moved from instability to integration, from neglect to nation-building: Chugh
Jammu, June 20 (UNI) BJP National General Secretary and J&K Prabhari Tarun Chugh on Friday said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reshaped India's destiny through Sewa, Sushasan and Gareeb Kalyan. Addressing a programme organised as part of the BJP's nationwide campaign 'Viksit Bharat Ka Amritkaal – Sewa, Sushasan, Gareeb Kalyan Ke 11 Saal', a grand Choupal programme was organised here at Dharp, Jeevan Nagar under Jammu South District, Chugh said, 'in the last 11 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not merely governed, he has reshaped the destiny of India. From the remotest border villages to bustling metros, every citizen today feels the pulse of development, dignity, and empowerment." This is not just governance, it is a movement of national resurgence. Under Modi's leadership, Jammu and Kashmir has moved from instability to integration, from neglect to nation-building, he said. The BJP stands as a symbol of transparent governance, fearless leadership, and unwavering service to the poor and the marginalised, said Chugh. Senior BJP leaders were also present on the occasion. He added, 'The 'Viksit Bharat Ka Amritkaal' campaign is not about celebration, it is about renewed commitment—to the farmers, youth, women, and every last person in the queue. We are here to connect directly with the people, to listen, to serve, and to ensure that Modi's vision of a developed, strong, and inclusive India becomes a ground reality in every home of Jammu & Kashmir.' MLA Dr. Narinder Singh, while interacting with the locals, said that the Modi government has delivered on its promise of inclusive development. From free ration to health insurance under Ayushman Bharat, every policy has reached the last person in the queue. Jammu and Kashmir has directly benefited from multiple central welfare schemes, he stressed. MLA Ramgarh Dr. Devinder Kumar Manyal emphasized the revolutionary changes in healthcare, infrastructure, and social welfare. He said that the Modi era has witnessed a systematic upliftment of the rural and underprivileged. Schemes like PM Awas Yojana, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and Digital India have brought tangible changes on the ground. MLA Bahu Ch. Vikram Randhawa reiterated the commitment of BJP workers to act as a bridge between the government and the people. He said that the BJP's strength lies in its grassroots connect. Our mission is to ensure that the benefits of every scheme are fully utilized by the common man, he asserted. UNI VBH GNK

India increasingly experiencing BJP's development model: PM Modi
Bhubaneswar, June 20 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the country has increasingly 'experienced the BJP's development model", pointing to the recent trajectories of Assam, Tripura and, most recently, Odisha. Addressing a rally marking the first anniversary of Odisha's BJP government, the Prime Minister contrasted the 'previous regime's model of governance—marked by delay, obstruction, derailment and corruption' with what he called a decade of 'good governance that makes people's lives easier". Highlighting the Eastern India as a case study, Modi said a decade ago Assam was mired in instability, separatism and violence. "Today the guns have fallen silent and Assam is out‑pacing many other states on several parameters,' he said. In Tripura ,the Prime Minister said after decades of Left rule, Tripura 'lagged on every development indicator,' from crumbling infrastructure to unresponsive administration. Now, Modi argued, it has become 'a symbol of peace and progress.' Coming to Odisha , he said, it had long wrestled with widespread corruption, red‑tapism and poor infrastructure, leaving many regions behind. 'Over the past year we have worked with full resolve to change that reality,' he declared. Modi credited the union‑and‑state 'double engine' approach for a spate of projects worth 'thousands of crores' inaugurated on Friday. This model, he said, is delivering twin benefits: He said lakhs of poor families in Odisha previously excluded from Ayushman Bharat now receive coverage under both the Ayushman Bharat Jan Arogya Yojana and Odisha's Gopabandhu Jan Arogya Yojana. Nearly three crore Odias are eligible for cash‑free treatment—inside and outside the state—and more than two lakh patients have already availed themselves of the scheme in hospitals across a dozen states. Under Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana, over 23 lakh senior citizens (70+) in Odisha can claim up to Rs.5 lakh in free medical care, significantly easing household health costs. Modi said the farmers in Odisha now receive combined assistance under PM‑KISAN and the state's complementary schemes. The higher paddy procurement prices, promised last year, have already benefited lakhs of cultivators, Modi said. The Prime Minister lamented that tribal communities had been kept 'in poverty and deprivation for decades' and 'used for political gain' by earlier governments, which in turn fueled Naxalism. 'Our model brings development to these regions instead of driving them toward violence and oppression,' he asserted. UNI DP RN
