Union Minister of State for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Bhanu Pratap Singh Verma, will participate in the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY) on November 24-25 in Meghalaya.
He will be arriving tomorrow and will participate in the VBSY programme to be held at Tynring village in East Khasi Hills. On Saturday morning the Union Minister is scheduled to attend another VBSY programme at Laitkseh village.
VBSY is a nationwide initiative to inform and empower citizens about the Centre’s flagship schemes and is being run in four districts of Meghalaya as part of the first phase of the campaign.
Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 15, multiple vans were flagged off simultaneously from various locations with significant tribal populations across the country, reaching over 1 lakh people on its first day itself.
The aim of the yatra is to create awareness about government welfare schemes and achieve 100 per cent saturation of these schemes.
