On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appreciated a lighthearted moment with the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) beneficiaries.
PM Modi spoke with one of the beneficiaries and inquired what the improvement the LPG cylinder has made to her everyday life.

“You must have started cooking new things which were difficult to prepare on a mud stove,” PM Modi said.
Hearing an affirmative response, the prime minister further asked, “What new things you have learnt to cook?”
Seeing the beneficiary hesitating to reply, PM Modi quipped, “Koi achchhi cheez banate ho toh batao, hum khane ke liye nahi aayenge aap chinta mat karo (If you cook some nice food then tell me, don’t worry I won’t come to eat).”
PM Modi provided the first installment of ₹540 crore to one lakh beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY – G) under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) through video conferencing.
“It is the endeavour of our government that no one is left out of its welfare schemes,” he went on to say.
During the occasion, the recipients discussed how government projects provided them with access to cooking gas, electricity, piped water, and housing, which had a good impact on their lives.
On November 15, as part of Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, PM-JANMAN was launched to improve the socioeconomic well-being of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG).
PM-JANMAN, with a budget of approximately ₹24,000 crore, focuses on 11 critical interventions through nine ministries and is aimed at improving socio-economic conditions of PVTGs by saturating PVTG households and habitations with basic facilities such as safe housing, clean drinking water and sanitation, improved access to education, health and nutrition, electricity, road and telecom connectivity, and sustainable livelihood opportunities.
