In a heartfelt virtual interaction that bridged the gap between governance and the common citizen, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityyanath engaged directly with beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban 2.0. Following the transfer of the first installment to their accounts, CM Yogi didn’t stop at formalities. He delved into personal conversations, ensuring that the fruits of government schemes were truly reaching the grassroots.
The session unfolded with warmth and authenticity. Speaking to Maya Devi from Fatehpur, the Chief Minister inquired casually, ‘Have you checked your phone? The first installment should be in your account by now.’ When she hadn’t yet verified, his smiling reassurance created an instant bond. Maya shared how she already benefits from ration and Ayushman cards, with her husband supporting their children’s education through daily wages. Yogi advised her to enroll in the Ujjwala scheme for a gas connection, promising soon-to-come housing, electricity, and water facilities.
Similar stories poured in from across districts. Menka Devi from Gorakhpur recounted her shift from a makeshift home to a permanent structure, supplemented by multiple welfare schemes. Archana from Prayagraj highlighted her access to electricity, gas, and health coverage, now augmented by housing aid. Sunita from Saharanpur expressed joy at the opportunity to build her dream home, while Gunja Devi from Maharajganj and Saroj Devi from Deoria spoke of family responsibilities met with government support.
From the event stage, CM Yogi personally handed over housing approval letters to 20 beneficiaries, starting with Seema from Lucknow. The auditorium echoed with applause as names like Ruby Gupta, Renu Verma, and others were called. Faces lit up with hope, children accompanying their mothers adding to the joyous atmosphere.
Yogi emphasized the ‘double engine government’ commitment to deliver schemes without discrimination, fostering self-reliance. He urged timely house construction, focus on education, and full utilization of programs like PMAY, Ujjwala, Ayushman Bharat, and pensions. This interaction wasn’t just administrative; it was a promise of empowerment, proving governance can be both efficient and empathetic.
