Earlier, on July 29, the Chief Minister called for achieving 100% beneficiary coverage in quality schemes and initiatives, so that such recognition ceremonies become a norm in every district and taluka of the state. Addressing the 'Sampurnata Abhiyan Samman Samaroh' held to honour excellence in holistic development across Aspirational Districts and Talukas (Blocks), the CM noted that under PM Modi's leadership, sectors from semiconductors to sanitation are prioritised.
