Soil health card helps farmers in scientific farmers. 1.8 crore people received this

We have started new ways to solve problems of the public with public participation

We have launched a new initiative almost every 15 days

The Cleanliness Mission Is For The Poor: PM Modi At Mega Rally.

I am grateful to the people, media, social organisations and especially the youth. That they have made the mission of cleanliness their own. For whom is this mission? It is not for the rich, it is for the poor. Because if they fall sick, they stop earning. And they spend 7000 per year on a sick person. If there is cleanliness, this can be prevented.

Rich vs Poor In PM Modi's Words
Friends, the gas cylinder was made a thing for the rich by the past governments. Poor weren't allowed to dream of gas ovens. Poor mothers were made to take smokes of 400 cigarettes when the cooked on wood and coal.
I told the people, if you can afford it, give up the gas subsidy. 1 crore families have given up subsidy this is not a small thing.
