Punjab Governor expresses concern over 'inadequate' reach of Central schemes to state residents

Ropar, December 2: Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit has expressed dissatisfaction over "limited reach" of Central schemes to the public in the state. During a visit to Road Majra village in Ropar, Punjab, the Governor highlighted concerns about "ineffective penetration of these schemes among the populace".

Governor Banwarilal Purohit raised questions and addressed complaints about the inadequate accessibility of Central schemes to the public. He said numerous complaints had emerged regarding the failure of these schemes to effectively benefit the people in Punjab. Consequently, he visited the region personally to evaluate the situation.



However, the Governor's programme reportedly witnessed low local attendance. This raised concerns about the awareness and effectiveness of the schemes reaching the intended beneficiaries.

Furthermore, the Ropar administration reportedly restricted media coverage and did not disclose any information about the Governor's visit to the area. This lack of transparency surrounding the visit has caused speculation and questions about the administration's actions regarding the outreach of Central schemes.

Besides, leaders from the BJP also lashed out at the Punjab Government, highlighting the necessity for the efficient implementation of Central schemes to ensure they effectively reach the public.

The apparent lack of awareness and information about the awareness programme conducted by the Governor has triggered concerns about the accountability and transparency of the Punjab Government's actions regarding the implementation of Central schemes. This situation has highlighted the need for improved communication and transparency in ensuring the efficient delivery of government initiatives to the people of Punjab.
