The government’s accomplishment in providing for its citizens’ basic needs, such as clothing, shelter, food, education, and health, was highlighted by the speaker. He said that the new education strategy has received widespread support and that Ayushman Bharat, India’s healthcare programme, now covers more than 500 million people.
