Rs 28 lakh crore transferred

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the expenditure of the governments increased in the country but with this poverty also increased. Four decades ago, the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had said that when one rupee is sent for welfare from Delhi, it becomes 15 paise by the time it reaches the beneficiary. PM Modi said that his government has so far transferred Rs 28 lakh crore under the Direct Benefit Transfer in Welfare scheme under different schemes. He said that if we see now, when it was said that 15 paise reaches the beneficiaries, then this amount would have also gone into someone’s pocket. Only four lakh crore rupees would have reached the poor. But today when one rupee comes out of Delhi, 100 out of 100 rupees reach the people.

Everyday more than 5 kilometer rail lines were being laid

PM Modi said that the country is on a fast pace of progress. Today, highways are being built in India at a speed of 38 kilometers per day. On the other hand, more than 5 kilometer rail lines are being laid daily in the country. PM Modi said that in the last nine years, three and a half lakh kilometers of ruler roads have been made. About 80 thousand kilometers of national highways have been built. In these nine years, three crore poor families have been given pucca houses. This figure is so huge that even the population of many countries of the world is not that much, as many houses have been built and given to the poor. The PM said that the first metro in India started in 1984. But even after this, most of the cities of the country remained deprived of Metro. Till 2014, only half a kilometer of new metro line was laid every month. But at present, the month in the country has been about 6 kilometers every month. Right now India has reached number five in terms of metro length. Now in the coming few months we are going to reach number three.
