Honoring The Valor Of Awadh Kesari Rana Beni Madhav

The Chief Minister launched a total of 346 development projects valued at over ₹879 crore.

Embodying the core principles of Antyodaya, the gathering witnessed groundbreaking welfare distributions aimed at uplifting the most vulnerable sections of society. Residential land leases were formally granted to over 60 homeless families, including individuals from the snake charmer community, providing them with legal property rights, social stability, and generational security.
Furthermore, financial assistance totaling ₹19 crore was transferred directly through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to various beneficiaries, alongside the distribution of Ayushman health cards, laptops, and welfare acceptance letters.
