JP Nadda calls for taking Centre's 12-year achievements to every household during Shimla outreach programme
Shimla, June 12
Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare and Chemicals and Fertilisers, and former BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda, on Friday, said that communicating the achievements of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central Government over the past 12 years to every section of society is a collective responsibility.
Nadda made the remarks during a meeting with prominent hotelier Sanjay Thakur at Hotel Combermere in Shimla as part of the BJP's "Vishesh Jansampark Abhiyan" (Special Public Outreach Campaign) being conducted to mark 12 years of the Modi government at the Centre.
During the interaction, Nadda and Thakur held detailed discussions on tourism prospects in Shimla, challenges being faced by the hospitality sector, and measures required to further strengthen tourism infrastructure in the hill state. Nadda said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, tourism and infrastructure development have received unprecedented impetus, benefiting Himachal Pradesh as well as the country as a whole.
As part of the outreach campaign, the Union Minister also presented literature highlighting the Centre's achievements during the last 12 years. He briefed the hotelier on key initiatives and accomplishments in areas such as welfare schemes for the poor, infrastructure development, healthcare, tourism promotion, women's empowerment, Digital India and the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.
Nadda said the Centre's welfare-oriented programmes and development initiatives have positively impacted all sections of society and are helping advance the vision of a "Viksit Bharat" (Developed India). He stressed the need for citizens and party workers alike to ensure that information about the government's achievements and public welfare measures reaches every household.
The Union Minister is on a series of meetings with prominent residents of Shimla under the special outreach programme aimed at highlighting the achievements of the Central Government and strengthening public engagement.
Rajya Sabha MP Harsh Mahajan, former MP Suresh Kashyap, MP Sikander Kumar, and other dignitaries were also present during the meeting.

Honestly, I'm tired of these 'achievement' campaigns. Yes, some things have improved, like Ujjwala scheme or free vaccines during COVID. But what about unemployment? My brother has a degree and still can't find a decent job. Instead of just celebrating 12 years, they should focus on real issues affecting youth like us 😐
Shimla tourism badly needed this attention! Hotels were struggling after COVID and then the road blockages. If Modi government really pushes infrastructure in Himachal, it will benefit local businesses like hoteliers. But please also fix the parking mess in Shimla - it's a nightmare for tourists! 😅
Atmanirbhar Bharat and Digital India have genuinely helped small businesses. I run a small homestay near Manali and now I can easily take online bookings, get loans through Mudra scheme. Yes, there are issues but credit where due - the digital infrastructure push has been real. Let's hope this outreach actually leads to more practical help for tourism sector 🏔️
Interesting that they're doing this outreach only with hoteliers and 'prominent residents'. What about common people who live in Shimla's old town or in villages nearby? True Viksit Bharat should involve everyone, not just the elite. But I appreciate Nadda ji visiting his home state - that's better than just giving speeches from Delhi.
Tourism in Himachal is a lifeline for so many families. If Modi government's schemes actually improve roads, internet connectivity, and waste management in hill stations, that would be a real
