Zero Poverty Mission to be named after BR Ambedkar: Yogi
The Statesman Kolkata
|April 15, 2025
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Monday, announced that the 'Zero Poverty' Mission in Uttar Pradesh will be named after Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.
He stated that this initiative, set to launch later this month, aims to lift every underprivileged and deprived individual above the poverty line.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, the Zero Poverty programme aims to ensure that no underprivileged person is left without access to basic amenities and government welfare schemes, said CM Adityanath, while addressing a gathering organised by the Ambedkar Mahasabha, marking Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar's 135th birth anniversary. On this occasion, he also released a commemorative souvenir.
The Chief Minister said: "Over the past eight years, extensive efforts have been made to saturate benefits among marginalised communities such as the Musahar, Tharu, Vantangiya, Kol, Buksa, Chero, Gond, and Sahariya. Every deserving individual has been connected with government schemes to improve their quality of life."
