To mark the completion of 11 years of transformation and good governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Mohalla Chaupal was organized at Ward No. 48, Gorkha Nagar, Bahu Fort, Jammu. The event aimed to connect directly with local residents and gather their feedback on the various public welfare schemes introduced by the government over the past decade.
The Chaupal was held under the leadership of District President Jammu South Naresh Jasrotia, along with Senior BJP leader Kr. Rajeev Charak and Mandal President Surjeet Singh. Advocate Ishant Gupta, State IT Head BJP J&K, was the main speaker at the Chaupal.

He further highlighted the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, through which over 81 crore citizens are receiving free ration. Additionally, he spoke about how schemes like Mudra Yojana, Namo Drone Didi, and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana are empowering women, while farmers are receiving direct financial support and youth are accessing new opportunities through skill development and startup initiatives.
