Cabinet decisions will bring positive changes in lives of farmers, labourers, workers: PM Modi

The decisions taken by the Union Cabinet on Monday will bring about positive changes in the lives of farmers, labourers and workers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said as his government enters second year in office.

These decisions will bring tremendous benefits to the farmers, street vendors and micro, small and medium enterprises, he said.

“To give impetus to the campaign for a self-reliant India, we have not only changed the definition of MSMEs, but have also approved several proposals to revive it. This will benefit the small and medium scale industries, as well as create huge employment opportunities,” Modi said in a series of tweets in Hindi and English.

PM Street Vendor’s Atma Nirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi) is a very special scheme, he said.

“For the first time, our street vendors are a part of a livelihood programme. This scheme will ensure support for street vendors. It harnesses technology and emphasises on capacity building,” he said.

India will prosper, the prime minister said, when its farmers prosper.
