A major boost for road safety and public health arrived from the heart of governance. Central Minister Nitin Gadkari lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s launch of the ‘PM Relief’ scheme, calling it a visionary, empathetic step forward. Unveiled on Friday following the ‘Seva Tirth’ inauguration, the program offers cashless medical aid up to ₹1.5 lakh for accident victims.
Gadkari’s X post captured the essence: immediate, respectful care that eases families’ economic strain. ‘A historic decision prioritizing every invaluable life,’ he stated, linking it to the ‘citizens first’ ethos and the dream of a developed India.
This scheme addresses a critical gap. In India, where road mishaps are alarmingly common, prompt medical intervention can mean the difference between life and death. By removing upfront payment barriers, PM Relief ensures no one succumbs for lack of funds.
PM Modi shared his perspective on X, mentioning approvals at Seva Tirth for empowering marginalized groups – from farmers to women powerhouses. Complementing this, the cabinet doubled ‘Lakhpati Didi’ targets to 6 crore, supercharged agri-infra loans to ₹2 lakh crore, and launched Startup India Fund 2.0 with ₹10,000 crore.
These interconnected decisions paint a picture of holistic progress. Gadkari’s endorsement underscores cross-ministry unity. As implementation ramps up, expect ripple effects: fewer tragedies, stronger rural economies, and a vibrant startup scene. Modi’s leadership continues to blend compassion with strategy, setting benchmarks for responsive governance in a dynamic nation.
