 Friends, Swami Vivekananda had great compassion for the poor. He truly believed that poverty was at the root of every problem. Therefore, poverty had to be removed from the nation. He gave top most importance to Dharidra Narayan. From USA, Swami Vivekananda wrote many letters. I would like to refer to the letters he wrote to the Maharaja of Mysore and Swami Ramakrishna Nanaji. In these letters, two clear thoughts emerged about Swami's approach to empowering the poor. First, he wanted empowerment to be taken to the poor if the poor themselves cannot easily go to the empowerment. Second, he said about India's poor. I quote, they are to be given ideas. Their eyes are to be opened to what is going on in the world around them, and then they will work out their own salvation. I quote, this is the approach with which India is moving ahead today. If the poor cannot access banks, then banks must reach the poor. That is what the Jan Dhaniyogana did. If the poor cannot access insurance, then insurance must reach the poor. This is what the Jan Swaraj Shah scheme did. If the poor cannot access healthcare, then we must take healthcare to the poor. This is what Ayushman Bharat's scheme did. Roads, education, electricity and internet connectivity are being taken to every corner of the country, especially to the poor. This is igniting aspirations among the poor, and it is these aspirations that are driving the growth of the country.
