During the event, PM unveiled the 'Pradhan Mantri Samajik Utthan and Rozgar Adharit Jankalyan' (PM-SURAJ) national portal online which symbolized the ministry’s dedication to placing the underprivileged at the forefront, towards uplifting the most marginalized sections of society, and supported credit assistance to one lakh entrepreneurs hailing from disadvantaged communities.

Furthermore, Ayushman health cards and personal protective equipment (PPE) kits were distributed by the ministry to sewer and septic tank workers (Safai Mitras) under the National Action for Mechanized Sanitation Ecosystem (NAMASTE).

The event was a reaffirmation of the government's commitment to "Vanchiton Ko Variyata," which aims to ensure that historically underserved or overlooked groups receive the attention and support they deserve. This dedication to prioritizing marginalized communities reflects the government's broader vision of "Viksit Bharat," where every individual has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from India's development journey.
