In the latest edition of Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that India is progressing with a “saturation approach” in health, social security, and welfare schemes—ensuring that benefits reach every citizen. He termed this inclusive approach as a “true image of social justice.”
Citing a recent ILO report, PM Modi noted that over 64% of India’s population is now receiving some form of social protection, a significant rise from just 25 crore beneficiaries in 2015. He said that around 95 crore Indians are now covered under various government welfare initiatives.
He attributed this success to improved governance and the commitment to empowering the common man. “Such achievements inspire confidence in a stronger and more equitable India,” the Prime Minister added.

Modi celebrated India being declared Trachoma-free by the World Health Organization (WHO), calling it a milestone in public health. He credited the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Jal Jeevan Mission for this success, acknowledging the tireless efforts of thousands of healthcare and sanitation workers.
