Guwahati, April 25: Amidst the fervor of Lok Sabha election campaigns, a poignant tale emerges from Bongaigaon, Assam, shedding light on systemic shortcomings in government scheme distribution.

Babita Roy, a poor woman from Abhayapuri, epitomizes the stark disparities faced by marginalized individuals in accessing essential resources, despite the implementation of ambitious welfare schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

Residing in Bamungaon under Bodigaon panchayat, Babita’s plight exposes the glaring gaps in reaching the intended beneficiaries of government initiatives. Despite her relentless efforts to support her family amidst her husband’s illness, Babita and her two sons grapple with the harsh realities of living in a dilapidated dwelling.

Their living conditions worsen during rainfall, as the inadequate tin roof offers minimal protection, leaving the family vulnerable to the elements.

Despite her struggles, Babita’s appeals for assistance through PMAY and the Arunodaya scheme have gone unheard, pushing her to seek help from local authorities and advocate for her inclusion in these welfare programs.

Babita’s story resonates with the larger plight of marginalized communities, highlighting the urgent need for equitable implementation of government schemes.

Her resilience amid adversity serves as a poignant reminder of the systemic challenges faced by the most vulnerable segments of society and underscores the imperative for comprehensive support mechanisms to uplift those in need.

As the nation engages in the democratic process, Babita’s plea for inclusion serves as a rallying cry for leaders to prioritize the welfare of all citizens and bridge the gaps in social welfare initiatives.
