I am from village Salkhadand in Gram Panchayat Kutma of Jashpur district,&#8221; shared Mankunwari, highlighting the challenges her family faced in the past. &#8220;We used to walk one or two kilometres to wells and were forced to drink the dirty water from there. This often resulted in vomiting and diarrhoea.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with the implementation of government schemes, Smt. Mankunwari&#8217;s life took a positive turn. &#8220;Now clean water is available. The house was built, and electricity is also being supplied,&#8221; she said, briefing about the impact of initiatives like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and access to clean water and electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the conversation, the Prime Minister inquired about the specific schemes that brought about these positive changes. Mankunwari responded, &#8220;I got a pucca house under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, electricity was also installed. Tap water is available, and gas connection is available.&#8221;<br>Prime Minister, showing warmth and a touch of humour, asked about the cooking improvements with the introduction of a gas stove. &#8220;Now that you have received a gas stove, you must be trying out new recipes. Have you learned some new dishes?&#8221; he inquired. He quipped and added, &#8220;Aap batao, hum khane nahi aayenge&#8221; (you tell me, we will not come to eat). Mankunwari responded with a smile, &#8220;I can make Dhuska and Bhajiya.&#8221;<br>When the Prime Minister inquired about the activities of her self-help group, Mankunwari shared, &#8220;Our group consists of 12 members. We received training in Dona Pattal at Pradhan Mantri Van Dhan Kendra, and now we manufacture and sell Dona Pattal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prime Minister heaped praise on Mankunwari&#8217;s role as a &#8220;Janman Sangi&#8221; and her efforts in spreading awareness about government schemes. When asked, Mankunwari shared, &#8220;I go to people&#8217;s doorsteps. I got their Aadhaar card, ration card, and Ayushman cards made. I take them to the government-organized camps. The work, which was not done in 75 years, was completed in 25 days through PM-JANMAN Yojana.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expressing gratitude, Mankunwari thanked the Prime Minister, to which he responded, &#8220;I also thank you.&#8221; Prime Minister encouraged the children present, stressing the importance of sports alongside studies. &#8220;You should concentrate a lot on sports also. Along with studies, there should also be a connection with sports,&#8221; he advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concluding the interaction, the Prime Minister praised Mankunwari for her dedication, stating, &#8220;It was very nice to talk to you. Even a person in the city will read with paper in his hand; you remember everything by heart. When everyone is involved in the schemes, the impact of the schemes increases manifold.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur (TEAM NEWS BUDDY).In a heartwarming interaction during a programme organized under the Pradhan Mantri&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chhattisgarh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=848"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":850,"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/848\/revisions\/850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-gdnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
