The Ministry of Women and Child Development (MoWCD) is participating in ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ a nationwide campaign to raise awareness through outreach activities to achieve saturation of schemes of the Government of India across the country covering all Gram Panchayats, Nagar Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies with the objectives to reach out to the vulnerable who are eligible under various schemes but have not availed benefit so far. It emphasises their enrolment in the schemes; dissemination of information and generating awareness about schemes and interaction with beneficiaries of government schemes through their personal stories/ experience sharing.

The campaign is being taken up by adopting a whole of government approach with active involvement of various Ministries/Departments of Government of India, State Governments, Central Government Organizations and Institutions to ensure the widest possible participation of all concerned for the benefit of citizens of the country and to realize the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Brief activities being undertaken during the  yatra by field functionaries of MoWCD:

  1. Beneficiaries are given an opportunity to speak of the benefits they have received through various schemes of WCD as “Meri Kahani Meri Zubani”
  2. Organising Swasth Balak Spardha and felicitation of healthy children.
  3. On-spot registrations of the beneficiaries for enrolment in Anganwadi Services Scheme.
  4. Dissemination of information regarding schemes of MoWCD to sensitise masses across all the Gram Panchayats has been ensured.
