He stressed that PMJVK plays a critical role in bridging development gaps in minority-concentration areas and contributes directly to the national vision of Viksit Bharat @ 2047.
He encouraged States and UTs to actively channelise scheme benefits to eligible regions, enhance implementation efficiency, and ensure that welfare and development initiatives translate into tangible improvements on the groun
