The new Ministers have embarked on the Yatra as they could not be introduced in Parliament earlier this month due to repeated disruptions by the opposition in the Monsoon Session that began on August 13.
The yatra aims to inform people about the achievements of the BJP-led Central government in economic, social, health spheres and programmes aimed at boosting employment through its focus on self-reliance. (ANI)
