Speaking on the occasion Dhami said that the State government is not only operating welfare and development schemes for women but also ensuring that every department prepares plans where the interests of women are kept at the center. The State government is working diligently to make every district a Viksit district. He said that 23 crore women have been linked with banks by Jan Dhan accounts under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The CM said the commitment of the State government can be gauged by the speed with which it acted to provide 30 per cent reservation to women in government jobs. He said PM Modi has given benefit of every scheme to 140 crore citizens and the entire country is his family.
He said that Modi’s guarantee is not a formula to win elections but the faith of the poor.
