Securing a bright future for the Nation Builders

Our Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji always said, today's decision has turned words into reality, as the Indian Government seeks to support children who lost their parents. PM-CARES for Children scheme is an important decision for the COVID Affected Children to support & empower them. Modi led Government stands with children who lost their parents/ surviving parent or legal guardian/adoptive parents due to Covid. Such children will receive a monthly stipend once they turn 18 and a fund of Rs 10 lakh when they turn 23 from PM CARES.

Education is the key factor in making children self sufficient and self reliant, so that they can stand on their feet and earn a living. Therefore, a free education for those students who have lost their parents will enable them to stand strong and make a mark in the society. Today's children will be part of tomorrow dynamic youth. Investing in children and providing them with the education will nurture and hone their skills, which will in turn prove critical for the development of our country. Providing education and other state aid, to children who have lost their parents, will ensure that they donate go down the wrong path. Such government assistance, will also deliver a strong message that such children are not alone and that the government is with them, and they are free to follow and pursue their dreams. This scheme provides wings to children to fulfill their aspirations and are free to carve out their own lives.

Access to proper education and health are the means to living a stable and healthy life. Providing young children with financial support for them to educate and work, will help them become responsible and capable leaders in the future, and will be motivated to make a difference in the lives of others. This scheme is truly a stepping stone in the right direction. It will enable children to drive social reforms and further strengthen India's democracy. Children will be also be assisted to get an education loan for higher education & PM CARES will pay interest on the loan. Not only education, but health has also been kept as a priority. The children will get free health insurance of Rs 5 lakh under Ayushman Bharat till 18 years & premium will be paid by PM CARES.

As Modi Ji rightly said, Children represent the future of the country and we will do everything to support and protect the children. It is our duty, as a society, to care for our children and instil hope for a bright future". Our Hon'ble PM also took the opportunity to extend gratitude to the common people for their generous contribution in the PM CARES, which made it possible to roll out schemes to help the nation's children. It is a tough time for our country, as India fights a difficult battle against the vicious second covid wave, but combined efforts and joining hands on various fronts, we can emerge victorious. As the Government works tirelessly to support the frontline workers, the children and those affected by Covid, India will once again bounce back better and shine bright.
