While the financial help is appreciated, Rs 2000 per installment is too little considering current inflation. Government should increase the amount to at least Rs 5000 per installment.

My father is a farmer in UP and this scheme has been a big help for us. But implementation needs improvement - last time payment was delayed by 2 months in our district.

The infrastructure projects in Varanasi are much needed! The city's roads have been in terrible condition. Hope this brings some relief to daily commuters.

Election year or not, this is good governance. Direct benefit transfer eliminates middlemen corruption. More such schemes needed for other sectors too!

As a Varanasi resident, I'm happy to see development projects but concerned about traffic during PM's visit. Last time the city was paralyzed for 2 days! Can't they manage better?

Interesting to see how India is digitizing welfare schemes. In my country, such direct transfers would take months of paperwork. India's DBT system seems efficient!
