Fulfilling the dream of Antyodaya, the Vikas Bharat Jan Sankalp Yatra Jansamvad reached Government School, Subhash Nagar Surajpur on Tuesday, where a lot of enthusiasm was seen among the people. Former Kalka MLA and Rashtriya Mahila Morcha treasurer Latika Sharma participated in the program as the chief guest.

She inspected the stalls set up by various departments and gathered information about the schemes related to those departments. Additionally, she interacted with the beneficiaries and sought feedback.
