Apart from this, in the meeting, Modi urged all the Ministers to take the Central government's welfare schemes to the general public through "Pravas aur Prayas".

The Prime Minister said that the Ministers should go before the people and tell them about the welfare schemes of the Central government.

Instructing the Ministers, the Prime Minister said, "Don't just go to the beneficiaries, but go to the lower strata and cross-check whether they are getting the benefits of the government's schemes or not."

"Our government is working on an all-encompassing and all-pervading basis," he added.

During his speech, the Prime Minister gave an example and said that if the seats in medical colleges or other colleges have increased, it has not only benefited one class but everyone.
