Mysore/Mysuru: A photo expo, workshop and seminar series have been organised in Mysuru from Oct. 12 to Oct. 18 listing the achievements of Narendra Modi Government in the last eight years, the vision 2047 of PM Modi and Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.

The event to be held at Government Maharaja’s PU College Grounds on JLB Road will be a mega show to bring the various schemes launched by the Centre to the doorsteps of the people. It will be jointly organised by the Central Bureau of Communication, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Department of Information and Public Relations, Mysuru District Administration, Zilla Panchayat and Mysuru City Corporation.

Addressing a press conference at Vartha Bhavan this morning, Deputy Director of Central Bureau of Communication Dr. T.C. Poornima said that along with chief organisers, many associations, academic institutions will cooperate in the conduct of the exhibition.

The aim is to create awareness on the Central Government schemes like Ayushman Bharat, Health Cards, LPG distribution, clean drinking water to villages, electrification, overall development of tribals and marginalised communities, National Education Policy-2020, upliftment of physically challenged, etc., she said. The PM’s vision — where India is leading democratically, socially, economically and militarily — will guide the country on attaining prosperity; making best facilities available both in villages and cities; eliminating unnecessary interference by the Government in the lives of citizens; and building modern infrastructure.
