Gandhis & India

UPA government at the Centre has taken up development work to new heights. UPA government has initiated a number of programmes for the states to uplift the condition of the poor people like Sarva Shiksha Abhyan, free lunch meals for poor school going children, Bharat Nirman, Health Mission and MGNREGA which guarantees minimum100 days work for rural labourers. No other government has done as much as UPA government had done for the poor. Mahatama Gandhi Nation Rural Employment Guarantee programme, which provide employment guarantee to the poor, free education for children programme and the like programmes were started by our UPA government. We doubled the salary of women working in Anganwadi. Perhaps you know that in Municipalities and civic bodies we have increased the quota of reservations for women from 33% to 50%.
