Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today addressed the BJP's 'Seva Hi Sangathan' programme through video conferencing. PM Modi thanked BJP Karyakartas who have been working tirelessly across India, helping those in need amid Coronavirus crisis. He said, “At a time when everyone in the world is busy protecting themselves, you have given up your worries and dedicated yourself to the service of the poor and needy.”

At the beginning of the event, seven state units of the BJP had given a presentation about the work done under ‘Seva hi Sangathan’ Abhiyan by them during the lockdown. The Prime Minister appreciated work done by karyakartas in several states across India.

While reviewing relief works by BJP Karyakartas during lockdown, PM Modi said, “This is the biggest 'Seva Yajna' in human history. I urge you to prepare Digital booklets documenting the relief works, at mandal, district, state & country levels. The booklets should be in at least 3 languages.”

PM Modi asserted, “I knew that you were working continuously in the Corona era. But in the difficult situations of lockdown, when everything was closed, you have made the lives of millions of people easy. You have become their companion. This is a huge job.”

“Our organization is not an election winning machine for us. For us, our organization means service. For us, our organization means ‘Sabka Sang, Sabka Sath’. For us, our organization means ‘Sabka Sukh, Sabki Smariddhi’. Our organization is going to work for the benefit of society. For us, it’s always been Nation First,” the Prime Minister said while addressing Karyakartas at 'Seva Hi Sangathan' event.

PM Modi remarked that the government took the right steps at the right time that helped to save the lives of people from the deadly virus and this is why our country is much better placed than many other nations with respect to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Presenting an account of the government’s decisions to help those affected by the lockdown, Prime Minister Modi highlighted that the government had started Garib Kalyan Yojana package and launched special schemes for food and employment for the poor. PM Modi extended Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana for a further five months till Diwali, Chhath, November-end for distributing free foodgrains to the poor.

“We always believed power to be a medium for service in politics. We never made power a medium for our gain. Selfless service has always been our pledge, our values" said PM Modi at BJP’s ‘Seva Hi Sangathan’ Abhiyan.

Also, PM Modi gave the mantra of Seven ‘S’ to the Karyakartas. He said that every BJP Karyakarta should go ahead with the power of seven ‘S’. These seven ‘S’ are :
First - Sadbhav
Second - Santulan
Third - Sanyam
Fourth - Samanvay
Fifth - Sakaratmakta
Sixth - Sadbhavna
And Seventh - Samvad

Stressing on continuing selfless service amid Corona crisis, PM Modi said, “Our Mahayagna should not stop in this period of Corona, and our fight against the pandemic should not be weakened either. The festival season is starting now, but Corona's danger is still the same. For this, you have to be careful and keep others aware too.”

Cabinet approves infrastructure projects between National Highway-19 and Varanasi Ring Road in Uttar Pradesh worth Rs.14447.64 crore
July 15, 2026

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, today has approved the development of a Link/Connector Corridor between National Highway-19 (NH-19) and the Varanasi Ring Road with riverbank connectivity along the River Ganga for the decongestion of Varanasi City in Uttar Pradesh. The 46.039 km project, comprising a six-lane elevated main carriageway, an iconic cable-stayed bridge, an extradosed Foot Over Bridge-cum-Major Bridge, loops, ramps, link roads and service roads, will be implemented under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) at a total capital cost of Rs.14,447.64 crore including a civil construction cost of Rs.6,037.85 crore (including utility shifting, excluding GST) and a land acquisition cost of Rs.541.11 crore under NH(O).

The project will provide seamless connectivity between NH-19 and the Varanasi Ring Road, significantly decongesting the city’s road network and improving urban mobility. Designed for an operating speed of 80–100 km/h, it is expected to reduce the average travel time across the project influence area from approximately 60 minutes to 20 minutes, representing a reduction of nearly 67 per cent. Travel time between NH-19 and Kashi Railway Station will be reduced from approximately 50 minutes to about 25 minutes, resulting in a saving of about 25 minutes (nearly 50 per cent).

Aligned with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, the corridor will strengthen multimodal connectivity by providing seamless access to major highways, railway stations, Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport and Ramnagar IWAI Port, while significantly improving connectivity to key religious, educational and cultural landmarks, including the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Namo Ghat, Ramnagar Fort and the Ghats of Varanasi. By linking important economic, social and logistics nodes, the project will improve logistics efficiency, enhance road safety, facilitate tourism and pilgrimage, and support sustainable regional economic growth across eastern Uttar Pradesh.

The corridor has been conceived as a transformative urban mobility project to decongest the road network of Varanasi & Chandauli by providing a high-speed, access-controlled connection between NH-19, the Varanasi Ring Road (NH-135B), Ramnagar/ BHU and other major urban destinations. With more than 15 crore tourists and pilgrims visiting Varanasi every year, the project will significantly improve connectivity to major religious, educational and cultural landmarks, including the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Namo Ghat, Ramnagar Fort, the Ghats of Varanasi, and Kashi Railway Station, while substantially reducing congestion on the existing city road network. An elevated spur between BHU/Lanka and Samne Ghat will further ease traffic congestion at the heavily trafficked Lanka Junction by separating through traffic from local traffic movements.

The project will improve road safety through controlled-access movement, reduce vehicle operating costs and emissions, enhance travel reliability, and facilitate the efficient movement of passenger and freight traffic. It will also decongest NH-19, the BHU-Ramnagar Corridor and NH-35 by diverting through traffic away from the densely developed urban core.

The project incorporates several landmark engineering features, including an iconic 910 m cable-stayed bridge across the River Ganga, a 1.32 km extradosed Foot Over Bridge-cum-Major Bridge with travelators providing seamless pedestrian connectivity to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, a Rail Over Bridge over the existing/proposed Malviya Bridge, dedicated emergency parking bays, noise barriers, façade lighting and architectural elements inspired by the cultural heritage of Varanasi. These features will not only improve transportation efficiency but also enhance the city’s urban landscape, create an iconic addition to Varanasi’s skyline, and reinforce its position as one of India’s foremost religious and cultural destinations.

Planned in accordance with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, the corridor will strengthen multimodal connectivity by linking one Economic Node (Chandauli SEZ), one Social Node (Chandauli Aspirational District) and six major Logistics Nodes, namely Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport, Kashi Railway Station, Banaras Railway Station, Varanasi City Railway Station, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay Junction and Ramnagar IWAI Port. By providing seamless connectivity between these transport hubs and key destinations such as the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Namo Ghat, Ramnagar Fort and the Ghats of Varanasi, the project will enhance multimodal integration, improve logistics efficiency, facilitate tourism and pilgrimage, and support sustainable regional economic development across eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Overall, the proposed Ganga Elevated Corridor will create a modern, high-capacity urban transport corridor that transforms mobility in Varanasi by providing faster, safer and more reliable connectivity, significantly reducing congestion, strengthening multimodal integration, enhancing tourism and pilgrimage infrastructure, and supporting sustainable economic growth in line with the vision of PM Gati Shakti and Viksit Bharat.
