PM releases benefits under PM CARES for Children Scheme; 223 from Gujarat among beneficiaries

New Delhi: Prime Minister Modi released benefits under PM CARES for Children Scheme today via video conference. Union Minister Smt Smriti Irani, many other members of the Council of Ministers, and Chief Ministers were among those connected to the event.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister empathized with the difficulties in the lives of those children who lost their loved ones due to Corona. “Every day’s struggle, every day’s challenges. It is difficult to put into words the pain of the children who are with us today, for whom this program is happening”, a moved Prime Minister told the children.

He told them that he is speaking as a member of the family, not as a Prime Minister.
In such a scenario, the Prime Minister said “PM CARES for Children is a small effort to reduce the difficulties of such corona affected children who lost both their mother and father. PM CARES for children is also a reflection of the fact that every countryman is with you with the utmost sensitivity.”

The Prime Minister informed that if someone needs an education loan for professional courses or higher education, then PM-CARES will help in that too. For other daily needs, arrangements have also been made for 4 thousand rupees every month for them through other schemes.

Apart from Rs 10 lakh on attaining the age of 23 years the children will be given health coverage through the Ayushman Card and emotional counselling through samvad helpline for psychological and emotional help.

The nation is trying to meet its responsibility through PM CARES for Children, he said.

The Prime Minister recalled the instances of human kindness during the pandemic, especially how people contributed to the welfare of the affected people.

The Prime Minister remarked that even in the darkest atmosphere of despair, if we believe in ourselves, then a ray of light is definitely visible. He cited our country itself to be the biggest example of this. The Prime Minister advised the children not to allow despair to turn into defeat. He asked them to listen to their elders and their teacher.

He also said that in these difficult times good books can be their reliable friends. He also asked them to stay disease-free and get involved and lead Khelo India and Fit India Movement. He also asked them to participate in the Yoga day also.

“We trusted our scientists, our doctors, and our youth. And, we came out as a ray of hope, not a worry for the world. We did not become the problem but we came out as the solution giver. We sent medicines, and vaccines to countries around the world. Even in such a big country, we took the vaccine to every citizen”, PM said.

The Prime Minister expressed happiness that today when his government is completing its 8 years, the confidence of the country, the confidence of the countrymen in themselves is unprecedented.

Referring to the welfare policies like Swachh Bharat Mission, Jan Dhan Yojna, or Har Ghar Jal Abhiyan, the Prime Minister said that the government is moving with the spirit of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas. The last 8 years have been devoted to the welfare and service of the poor, he said.

The Prime Minister noted that by increasing the use of technology, the government has ensured the rights of the poor. Now the poorest of the poor are confident that they will get the benefit of the government’s schemes, they will get it continuously. To increase this trust, our government is now running a campaign of 100% empowerment.

The Prime Minister remarked that the heights that India has achieved in the last eight years, no one could have imagined earlier. Today, India’s pride has increased around the world, our India’s power has increased in the global forums. He expressed happiness that youth power is leading this journey of India. “Just dedicate your life to your dreams, they are bound to be realized”, the Prime Minister concluded. DeshGujarat.
