Om Birla announces 90-day plan to achieve 100% welfare coverage in Kota

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla pledges 100% survey & scheme benefits in Kota within 3 months, following new airport inauguration.

"We plan to survey and assist 100% of eligible individuals within three months. - Om Birla"

Kota, April 13

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday reflected on the three-month deadline to survey and assist eligible individuals to ensure the benefits of various government schemes are provided in Kota.

Speaking with ANI, the Lok Sabha speaker said that a house-to-house survey will be conducted to inform eligible individuals regarding the schemes.

"We will identify the developing Panchayats and the ones that are lagging in the Kota district. We are now creating development plans based on equal standards, incorporating both developmental and humanitarian efforts... We plan to survey and assist 100% of eligible individuals within three months, ensuring they receive benefits from various schemes such as pensions, food security, PM SVANidhi, and PM Awas Yojana... There will be a house-to-house survey conducted to collect data and inform unaware but eligible individuals about their entitlements for the scheme," he said.

Earlier last month, The long-awaited new Kota Airport was formally inaugurated with a Bhoomi Pujan ceremony on Saturday at Shambhupura by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, and Union Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu.

On this occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also conveyed his greetings to the people of Kota-Bundi and the entire Hadoti region through a virtual address.

According to a release, PM Modi said that recently, he had visited Ajmer, where development projects worth thousands of crores were inaugurated, and foundation stones were laid. During the same programme, appointment letters were also handed over to nearly 21,000 youth of Rajasthan.

The Prime Minister stated that within just a few days of his visit to Ajmer, he had the opportunity to launch this important airport project related to Kota. The initiation of these two major initiatives in Rajasthan within a single week reflects the pace at which the State is moving towards development today.

Infrastructure development, employment opportunities for youth, and welfare schemes for farmers and women work is progressing rapidly across every sector in Rajasthan. He said that the day marks a new beginning of hope and achievement for Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar and the entire Hadoti region.

The Prime Minister said that the airport, being constructed at an estimated cost of around Rs 1,500 crore, will significantly accelerate the development of the entire region in the coming years. He recalled that when he visited Kota in November 2023, he had promised the people that the Kota airport would not remain merely a dream but would be turned into reality.

The new airport and now this welfare push! Kota is finally getting the attention it deserves. The Hadoti region has so much potential. If the survey is done properly, it can be a game-changer for many families. Fingers crossed!

90 days sounds ambitious. I hope they have a proper digital system and enough manpower. The intent is good, but execution is key. Past surveys have often been incomplete or data gets lost. Let's hope this time is different.

As someone who has visited Kota, the infrastructure development is visible. Combining the airport project with a focused welfare drive is a smart, holistic approach to development. The ₹1,500 crore investment should bring good connectivity and jobs.

PM Awas Yojana and pensions are lifelines for so many. If this survey can genuinely identify all eligible beneficiaries in Kota district, it will be a massive service. My only request: please ensure the survey teams are respectful and patient, especially with senior citizens.

Good step, but I have a respectful criticism. Announcements are easy. We have seen many "100% coverage" targets before. The real test will be transparency—publishing the survey data and the list of beneficiaries afterwards. Accountability is crucial for public trust.
