FROM EDITOR'S DESK

e would like to thank all our readers for an encouraging
response to our last issue. The current issue gives an
Wextensive coverage of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s
address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 74th
Independence Day of India.

Prime Minister elaborated upon his clarion call for an Aatma
Nirbhar Bharat – a Self-Reliant India, and how a nation that was in

the grip of a pandemic, is adapting the mantra of “Make for World”
against all odds and challenges. Jan Dhan Yojana, is reported in
detail in our section on Flagship Scheme of the Month. The number
of beneficiaries has crossed over 40 crore under this ambitious and
successful scheme launched by Prime Minister on August 28, 2014.
The issue also attempts at providing a comprehensive coverage of
the success of the India’s Textile Sector where it turned the COVID-19

crisis into an opportunity by producing more than 2 crore masks
during the pandemic.

The story of Kunzes Angmo from Ladakh features in our achievers
section along with others. Hers is a story of inspiration when she
tried to provide an international platform to local Ladakhi handicrafts
such as pashmina and woolen products. There are other stories too
on the agriculture sector’s growth, launching of an App for taxpayers
and National Education Policy.

We hope our efforts continue to update our readers with information
on various welfare schemes of the Government of India.
