Prime Minister Narendra Modi commenced the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Mizoram on Saturday, following recent assembly elections in these states.
The yatra, which began earlier in other regions, experienced a delay in these five states due to the prevailing model code of conduct during the elections.
During the event, PM Modi engaged with beneficiaries from various states who have availed government schemes. Speaking with one such beneficiary, he emphasized that 'atmanirbhar' (self-reliant) women in the country are not only sustaining themselves but also becoming a boon for others. Modi expressed his government's commitment to supporting such dedicated and hardworking individuals.

Addressing the beneficiaries of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra through video conferencing, the prime minister said, "With resolve of a developed India, 'Modi's guarantee vehicle' is reaching every corner of country."
In one month, the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra has reached thousands of villages and cities and most of them are small towns, he added.
Modi said his government is trying to ease troubles of everyone like a family member.
"This is our government that has helped the poor, farmers, small businessmen and various other sections of society. Modi's guarantee begins after hope from everyone else ends," he said.
The prime minister said that for a long time after independence, benefits of development were limited to a few big cities, but his government is focussing on development of smaller cities and that would strengthen the foundation for a developed India.

He also urged everyone to avail the benefits of various government schemes.
"Even though Modi has flagged off the Vikas Bharat Sankalp Yatra, the truth is that today the countrymen have taken command of that yatra. At a place where the journey halts, people from other villages or cities start leading the journey," he said.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, present at the event, remarked that everyone's work now gets expedited as the people of the country have become 'Modiji's VIP.'
In alignment with his vision to make India a developed nation by 2047, PM Modi interacted with Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra beneficiaries via video conferencing.
The yatra was also officially flagged off in the recently election-held states, witnessing the participation of thousands of beneficiaries from across the country. The event drew a substantial presence of Union Ministers, MPs, MLAs, and local representatives.
The Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra aims to achieve the saturation of flagship government schemes, ensuring that the benefits reach all targeted beneficiaries within a specified timeframe.
