Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu has asked the young officers to take the benefits of government schemes to the poorest of the poor in the society.

Addressing a gathering at Guru Puja, Samkalp, a Project by Jan Kalyan Shiksha Samiti, in New Delhi, Naidu said that the challenge is to touch every section of the society and make them part of developmental process.

He further said that India faces any challenges in the fields of illiteracy, ill health, poor quality of education, lack of clean drinking water and other social evils. An effective implementation of government schemes at grass root level will bring in change, he added.

The Vice President said that it is true that government has stared several programmes to address these challenges, but often we falter at the implementation level. We have to fast track the process so that intended benefits reach the people on time, he added. 

Naidu said that ever since the Independence, India has made several strides and brought in reforms to make peoples lives well, yet the country has miles to go to translate the nation for Swarajya to Surajya.    

Stressing on the role of officers in the governance, the Vice President asked the young officers to make public governance systems more people-centric. Inclusive development should be a sacred goal, he added.
