12-May; Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that India’s development is a conviction and commitment for his Government. He said, nation-building is a continuous responsibility that his Government is working to fulfil. Inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of various projects in Gandhinagar today, Modi said, his government is eliminating inequality, reaching every poor and ensuring 100 per cent saturation. He said, despite having the various Awas Yojnas for decades, 75 percent of the population lacked access to proper toilets. The Prime Minister said, we must understand that a home is more than just a shelter and it is a place of faith where dreams are realized and new possibilities are born. He said his government does not look at religion or caste while delivering benefits and this is real secularism. Modi said, after 2014, the Government did not limit the house of the poor only to a concrete roof, but made the house a solid foundation for fighting against poverty and a medium of empowerment of the poor. He said, in the last nine years, around four crore homes have been provided to the poor. The Prime Minister said, nearly 70 per cent of these homes are under the names of women, turning the mothers and daughters into Lakhpati Didi.He said, when the poor are less worried about the basic needs of their life then their confidence increases.
