Governor Patel said this at Dr. Kailash Nath Katju Government Hospital, Bhopal.

He also interacted with the doctors and patients.
Patel said that we are fortunate to have a sensitive Prime Minister like Narendra Modi, who has worked for the welfare of the bottommost deprived person of the society. He has introduced several schemes for them. He has created new history of women’s empowerment and self-reliance through the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao and Beti Badhao campaigns in the country. He said that the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matrutva Abhiyan has done the work of saving the lives of a large number of mothers and children.
