The event was organized by the BJP Health and Medical Cell, and senior BJP leader Shailja Gupta in collaboration with the Trikuta Nagar Welfare Society.

Addressing the gathering, Ashok Koul said that the Narendra Modi-led Government has been working tirelessly for the welfare of every section of society, with a special focus on senior citizens and vulnerable groups. He highlighted the numerous welfare schemes launched by the government to provide social security, healthcare, and financial stability to citizens.

Speaking on the occasion, Puneet Mahajan, Convener of the BJP Health and Medical Cell, elaborated on the key aspects of the Ayushman Vay Vandana Yojana. He emphasized that the scheme is a lifeline for senior citizens, ensuring healthcare access and financial support in old age. He urged all stakeholders to extend cooperation to achieve 100% outreach, ensuring that no eligible beneficiary is left behind. He said that initiatives like these bring dignity and care to senior citizens who have contributed their whole life to society.

BJP Senior Leader Shailja Gupta, in her address, lauded the Narendra Modi government’s welfare vision and said that all should pledge to continue spreading awareness about government schemes and to organize more such camps in the future, benefitting larger sections of society.
