The Yatra is designed to educate and empower citizens about the government’s schemes. Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 15 in Khunti, Jharkhand, the campaign aims to create awareness and foster engagement across the country.
The Yatra is taking various plans and facilities of the government to those people who have been neglected so far, who don’t even have information about them. Even if they have information, they don’t know how to access them.
