During the "Samajik Adhikarta Shivir" here on Saturday, a visually-challenged youth took a selfie with Prime Minister Narendra Modi using the smartphone he received under the assistance to disabled persons for purchase/fitting of Aids and Appliances (ADIP) scheme. Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed assistive aids and devices to nearly 27,000 senior citizens and Divyangjans at the biggest-ever "Samajik Adhikarta Shivir". Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said his government has been working with the goal of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas'.
"Swastih Prajaabhyah Paripaalayantaam, Nyaayena MaargeNa, Maheem Mahishaah (It is the responsibility of the government that every person is benefited, every person gets justice)," he said. "This is the basis for the philosophy of 'sabka saath sabka vikas sabka vishwaas'. With this spirit, our government is working for the welfare and development of each and everyone in the society. It is my government's first priority to protect the interests of 130 crore Indians whether senior citizens, divyangjans, tribals or the downtrodden," he added.
