He is also scheduled to kickstart distribution of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) cards, said Vishnu Dutt Sharma, MP unit president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Shahdol district in Madhya Pradesh on July 1 to take part in various programmes, including the culmination of 'Rani Durgavati Gaurav Yatra' and launch the National Sickle Cell Anemia Elimination Mission, a BJP functionary said.
He is also scheduled to kickstart distribution of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) cards, said Vishnu Dutt Sharma, MP unit president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The prime minister was earlier scheduled to visit Shahdol on June 27 for these events, but his visit was postponed in view of heavy rainfall warning, Sharma told reporters.
PM Modi, however, visited Bhopal that day, where he physically and virtually flagged off five Vande Bharat trains, and also addressed BJP workers.
The prime minister's visit to Shahdol would be his second visit to the state this week.
Elaborate arrangements are being made to welcome PM Modi in Shahdol, Sharma added.
