LUCKNOW:

Through the Zero Poverty Scheme, 13.57 lakh families are being empowered with opportunities for a secure and self-reliant future.

Chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh said the CM launched the scheme to uplift families living at the lowest economic level in the state. Under the initiative, the government aims to identify 25 lakh families and provide them with the benefits of various welfare schemes, ensuring their annual income reaches Rs 1,25,000 per family.

A statewide campaign is underway to identify and support these families.
