Yogi asks ministers to make villagers aware of govt schemes

With Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls merely six months away, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asked his ministers to visit villages in June and July and interact with local residents to learn about their problems and make them aware of government schemes.

At a meeting of the council of ministers in Lucknow on Monday, the CM said that ministers, who were already in- charge of the districts, would camp in all blocks of their respective districts to inspect the development work , review ther progress and interact with party workers and people to sort out their problems.

State government spokesperson Sidharth Nath Singh said in Lucknow that on the occasion of International Yoga Day, the ministers will reach out to the people in the blocks in a big way to celebrate it on June 21. Six days later on June 27, the ministers along with BJP workers will sit together in the blocks to listen to Prime Minister Nraendra Modi’s ‘Mann ki Baat’ programme on radio.

“The ministers have been asked to cover one or two blocks in a day and there they will inspect PHCs, CHCs, schools, review food distribution schemes and the progress of the development in the area. During the 45-day programme, the ministers will also participate in plantation drives in blocks and in the organisational front, will hold small meetings with BJP workers and other people to know their problems. A plantation drive will be held across the state between June 23 and July 6, wherein the state is slated to set up a record in plantation,” Siingh said.
