PM Modi's birthday: New nationwide programs rolled out
On his 75th birthday (September 17, 2024), Prime Minister Narendra Modi rolled out a bunch of new nationwide programs from Dhar, Madhya Pradesh.
The focus? Boosting women's health, supporting tribal communities, creating jobs, and encouraging sustainability.
Highlights include the 'Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar' campaign and the latest Rashtriya Poshan Maah.
Health camps for women, children
The 'Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar' campaign brings daily health camps for women and children across India.
Nearly a million women also got direct bank transfers under the Matru Vandana Yojana—so real help is reaching real people.
Initiatives for tribal communities
Modi kicked off the 'Adi Karmyogi Abhiyan' to improve healthcare, education, and jobs in tribal areas.
He also opened a massive textile park in Dhar that could mean over 3 lakh new jobs.
Plus, with the 'Ek Bagiya Maa Ke Naam' initiative, he encouraged thousands of women to plant trees—giving a nod to both community spirit and the environment.
Sickle cell anemia screenings
To fight diseases like sickle cell anemia, Modi handed out India's 10 millionth screening card and launched the 'Suman Sakhi Chatbot,' which gives rural moms easy access to health advice right from their phones.
