Jan Yojana


On the threshold of  77th Independence Day of our nation Iam glad about the fact that we have attained many milestones under the leadership of our Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi and Bharatiya janata party tenure which had witnessed an unprecedented support from the general public because of many welfare schemes initiated by the government.Some of the schemes which I can vouch for as a karyakarta of Bharatiya Janata Party are Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Jan Aushadi Pariyojana and Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana .Under these schemes many common people became beneficiaries including my family because we relied on Jan Aushadi medicines for the treatment of my parents who were recovering from chronic disease and since these generic medicines were made available for the price which are almost half the price of what we get from other medical shops and some even costs only ten percent of the market price. This has helped us to save lot of money on medicines. Though there were apprehensions in the mind of the patients about the quality of generic medicines many doctors now approve the medicines from Jan aushadi and recommend them. We have many outlets in our city and all of them have ample stocks of medicines. These outlets have become popular due to the distribution of medicines at affordable price. It also reflects our self reliance in the pharma sector and a philanthropic endeavour of our government. Jan Dhan Yojana on the other hand empowered women a great deal by facilitating them to open zero balance bank accounts of every unbanked household. Women deposits increased considerably and brought them under the formal banking system. They became beneficiaries of the incentives by the government through electronic clearing system directly to their savings bank account. Sector-wise credit to women customers indicates that credit has increased in almost all major heads like agriculture, manufacturing industry and trade during financial year 2019-2023.

PAK REPORTER

The Election in Pakistan was a triumph of Electoral Politics.The dismisssal of Pak Premier Imran Khan and appointment of Army backed Shehbaz Sharif at the helm due to allegations of corruption on Imran The Tehreek-e-Insaf emergence as a winner with 100 odd seats out of 265 seat national Assembly is Euphoric. Imran Khan's Party and his colleagues can take this as a moral victory considering the accusations leveled against him and disqualification to contest the Elections to the General Assembly.Army Chief General Asim Munir invited the PML-N to form a government and also requested the other parties to join forces with Nawaz Sharif to save the Nation from the Economic Crisis.Since the final results are yet to be declared its to be seen whether they get the required Majority with the help of other Independents. The run up to the Election was marked with enthusiasm innate to pak polity which ensured large participation of the voters who wants to see democracy in full swing.Amidst allegations of Rigging and Mobile internet Ban people excercised their Franchise without much violence.The Polling Percentage was around 52%. As an observer of Pakistan Politics I reckon the rise of former cricketer turned politician Imran Khan after the demise of PPP [Pakistan People's Party] leader Benazir Bhutto kept the Popularism intact.I have vivid memories of 1992 world cup cricket final when pakistan defeated England and his podium speech where he dedicated the world cup victory to the whole subcontinent.Moreover his philanthrophic parleys to raise funds to build a Hospital for cancer patients in memorium of his mother Shaukat khannum in Lahore who died of cancer catapulted him to the public arena of politics.Though his fledgling Party Tehreek-E-Insaf has minimal presence this result can be seen as a major landmark for his party and their cadres. Pakistan Election commision has to be lauded for smooth conduct of Elections held on 8th of February 2024.
