Ludhiana, May 22
Noted Punjabi actor and BJP leader Preeti Sapru said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several welfare schemes have reached the people in the country.

She said the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra was a new concept aimed at saturating all government schemes such as Ujjwala Yojana, Swanidhi, PM Awas Yojana, etc.
She said 45,116 farmers of Ludhiana were getting Rs 6,000 every year under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Besides, 4,981 Soil Health Cards had been made in Ludhiana and 7,34,338 card holders in the Ludhiana constituency were getting free ration under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana and 40,2,024 people were getting free treatment under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana. 26,803 youth of Ludhiana were trained under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana.
