PM CARES Scheme Letter Shared By Women And Child Development Ministry:
The PM asserted that the PM-CARES scheme for children is an encouraging step taken by the Government for their bright future.
He stated, “This scheme will ensure that you can dream freely and there is no lack of effort in helping you realise your dreams.”
The letter was written in Hindi, English and other regional languages in which the PM shared a lesson taught by his mother in his childhood. He asserted that his family also suffered the same pain through a similar tragic incident about 100 years ago.
The PM said, “A century ago when the entire world was in the grip of a terrible pandemic like today, my mother lost her mother i.e. my maternal grandmother. My mother was so young that she does not even remember her mother’s face. She spent her entire life in the absence of her mother, without her affection. Imagine how she must have been brought up. Therefore, today, I can very well understand the anguish in your mind, the conflict in your heart.”
He expressed that the presence of parents offers a huge support to children.
He stated, “Until now, your parents told you the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and guided you. Today, when they are not with you, your responsibilities have increased more than before.”
The further PM added, “It is not possible for anyone to fill this void in your life, but as your family, I assure you that you are not alone in your struggles, difficulties, and in your good and bad times. The entire country is with you.”
