Chief Minister Raman Singh awarded the title of 'Swachchhta Veer' to a disabled child for his commendable contribution in Clean India Campaign at a public welfare fair organised here on Friday. Impressed with his dedication towards Cleanliness Campaign, the Chief Minister extended hearty blessings to Mithilesh, a resident of village Bramhan Bhedi in tribal dominated Chauki block of the district.
Despite being physically-challenged, speech and hearing impaired, Mithilesh used to go door-to-door on his tricycle and motivate people to build toilets in their houses. Mithilesh’s efforts have yielded promising results. And as a result, each and every house in village Bramhan Bhedi is now equipped with toilets. In the public welfare fair organised here, the Chief Minister awarded ‘Swachchhta Veer’ title and gave away certificates to people of many villages for their active participation in Clean India Campaign. Singh also felicitated the representatives of five villages- Chhuikhadan, Sonsai Tola, Amlidih, Kalkasa and Kumarda, where each and every family has taken insurance cover under Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Beema Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan-Jyoti Beema Yojana.
In this fair, banks had put up stalls for Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Beema Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan-Jyoti Beema Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana. The Chief Minister distributed cheques worth nearly Rs 45 lakh to 642 beneficiaries, who have completed their training under Chief Minister Skill Development and Family Empowerment Scheme. On the occasion, MP Abhishek Singh, Municipal Corporation Mayor Madhusudan Yadav, and other public representatives were also present.
