On Tuesday, June 27th, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be making a day-long visit to the state of Madhya Pradesh, where he is scheduled to attend and participate in a variety of programmes.
Beginning his visit in Bhopal, Modi will be launching a mission to combat 'Sickle Cell Anaemia', as well as distributing 'Ayushman Bharat' cards in the Shahdol district. Following this, he will be attending the concluding part of the Veerangana Rani Durgavati Gaurav Yatra, which was launched on June 22 from Balaghat.
At the launch of the sickle cell anemia eradication programme, representatives from the Union Health Department, Tribal Affairs, AYUSH Mantralaya and representatives from 17 states will be present. Virtual distribution of sickle cell genetic counseling cards will be carried out to over 2 lakh beneficiaries of 3000 health and wellness centers in 89 development blocks of 20 tribal-dominated districts. These cards will contain a test report of sickle cell anemia.
In addition, Modi will be inaugurating the national sickle cell portal and dash port, dedicating the sickle cell operation guidelines, and interacting with Lakhpati Didi's – women in the self-help groups who have an income of more than Rs. 1 lakh. He will also be speaking to the chieftains of tribal communities, as well as having an interaction with the Gram Sabhas where the PESA Act has been implemented. Finally, the Prime Minister will be interacting with football clubs from nearby villages.
Overall, this visit to Bhopal is seen as the BJP's way of sounding the polls bugle for the upcoming elections in Madhya Pradesh.
