A scheme to fully immunise all pregnant women, and all children under two years, also reached almost all targeted beneficiaries. The Gram Swaraj Abhiyan was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 14, the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Under the Ujjwala scheme to give gas connections to all homes, 39% or 5.6 lakh households were reached out of a total target of 14.4 lakh. The official added that while the Gram Swaraj Abhiyan officially ended on Saturday, the government planned to continue until full saturation was achieved. Financial schemes also saw high saturation, with a higher number of Jan Dhan bank accounts being opened.
