On Sunday, Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh saw the launch of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a national outreach programme designed to educate and empower people about the Centre’s flagship programmes. At Tawang, which borders China, the Center launched its largest-ever outreach program on Sunday. Residents of a nearby village took the revolutionary “Sankalp Pledge” and vowed to support the outreach. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the campaign on November 15 in Khunti, Jharkhand. Several vans from different parts of the country with sizable tribal populations were flagged off at the same time.
A dynamic melange of events and initiatives unfolded on the first day of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, weaving together stories of empowerment and collective engagement toward a shared vision of national development, according to an official release.
