The Centre on Sunday launched 85 people-oriented development schemes, like PM-KISAN, PM-KISAN-Pension, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and Stand-Up India, in Jammu & Kashmir.
The Government aims to achieve 100 per cent coverage of these schemes, which come under 21 Ministries, within one month (by September 30).
A slew of insurances schemes, including the Atal Pension Yojana, has also been introduced in the newly carved Union Territory and the Government plans to provide electricity to all the J&K households.
The PM’s special initiatives, like LPG connection to the poor household and direct benefit transfer (DBT) for LPG and kerosene, focussing to empower women especially in rural areas, have also been introduced.
