CM: Mathrubhumi Yojana to be implemented in urban areas

The Mathrubhumi Yojana is currently being implemented in rural areas and the government will soon implement it in urban areas as well, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath disclosed on Friday.

Inaugurating the Uttar Pradesh Mathrubhumi Yojana, the chief minister said, The mother and motherland are greater than heaven. There can be no comparison between them. Therefore, everyone should be given a chance to participate in the Mathrubhumi Yojana. Our government has currently implemented this scheme in rural areas. We will implement the Mathrubhumi Yojana in urban areas also.

This will serve two purposes: firstly, individuals will be able to reconnect with their roots, and secondly, they will be able to contribute towards their motherland, he added.

On this occasion, the chief minister distributed Awards to 370 outstanding gram panchayats under the Mukhyamantri Panchayat Protsahan Puraskar Yojana. Additionally, under the Rashtriya <a href="https://exam.pscnotes.com/gram-swaraj-abhiyan”>Gram Swaraj Abhiyan, 3,145 gram panchayat secretaries were provided with laptops.

The chief minister said, The Panchayati Raj department should develop a mechanism through which the person contributing Money can be given an account of his every penny. Under the UP Mathrubhumi Yojana, 60 per cent of the funds will be invested by individuals willing to contribute towards their motherland, while 40 per cent of the funds will be provided by the State Government.

The chief minister said that because people were Gods greatest creation, they had a strong sense of respect for their motherland. Each person has a bond with his or her motherland. We must encourage this bond and instill faith in their hearts. Previously, people had in mind that there was misappropriation of funds in the state governments budget so if we send money, it will also be misused, he said.
