Outreach programme 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra' to be launched on Nov 15

After a political row over its mega outreach campaign to highlight central schemes, the government on Thursday said the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra scheduled for launch on November 15 will skip the five poll-bound states. In an informal interaction with reporters here, Information and Broadcasting Secretary Apurva Chandra said a decision has been taken to drop the word 'rath' to refer to the vehicles publicising government schemes across 2.55 lakh gram panchayats and nearly 18,000 locations in urban areas. "There is no plan to start the 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra' in election-bound states where the model code of conduct is in place. In poll-bound states the yatra will start when the model code of conduct is lifted," Chandra said. "Henceforth, we will not use the word 'rath' for the Information, Education and Communication (IEC) vans," Chandra said, dismissing criticism that government officials were being drafted for a political campaign.
