She also said that Modi has made 2 lakh mothers Lakhpati in the country through self-help groups, and 10 thousand of them are from Sipahijla district. She added that ‘NaMo’ drone is providing advanced facilities to the mothers in agriculture, and they are being trained on how to use drones for fertilizing and spraying crops.

She said that Modi considers everyone as his family and is delivering all the benefits of his government to their homes through the Modi guarantee vehicle. She urged the people to take advantage of the various schemes such as Ayushman Card, Krishak Samman Nidhi, Ujjwala Gas Yojana, Mudra Loan, Soil Health Card, Pradhan Mantri Matrubandana Yojana, Self Help Group Loan etc. from the vehicle.
