Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra spurs civic awareness in Khour, Miran Sahib Blocks

JAMMU, December 16: To disseminate information and promote civic engagement, Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra made significant strides in Khour and Miran Sahib blocks today.

SDM Khour, Anil Kumar Thakur and Tehsildar Monika Sharma spearheaded the Yatra in Municipal Committee Khour (Ward No. 3 and 4). The departments erected stalls, distributed pamphlets and posters, showcased exhibits and emphasised the significance of government schemes such as PMAY(U), Ayushman Bharat Yojana Card and Har Ghar Jal. Cultural programs by students conveyed themes of National Integration and responsible social media usage.

Simultaneously, in Panchayat Bhow and Khour of Block Miran Sahib, a warm welcome greeted the VBSY Van, which showcased a video message from PM Modi, urging citizens to pledge for the country’s progress. Vidya Motan, DDC member Miran Sahib and PRI representatives joined in the welcoming committee.

Cultural performances, including songs, dances, sports events and skits, highlighted local talents. A health camp by the health department offered free screening of TB and NCD, distributing AYUSHMAN CARDS to beneficiaries. Representatives of government departments elucidated various welfare schemes, distributing pamphlets, brochures and answering queries.

Both events facilitated on-spot registration under PM Vishwakarma and other online services. Notably, the public availed free health care services under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. Ex-president and sectoral officers were actively present, endorsing the Yatra’s objective of fostering awareness and civic responsibility.
