      Modi stated that Rs. 21000 have been deposited in 20 crore Jan Dhan accounts. He also claimed that an amount of Rs. 18,000 crore has been spent on more than 9 crore farmers in the country and another Rs. 50,000 crore has been spent to provide employment to migrant workers returning to their villages.

      Free Ration For Festive Season

      During his address, Modi mentioned the free ration programme introduced during the pandemic, which gives 5 kg of rice or wheat along with 1kg of lentils to over 80 crore people. Mentioning the upcoming festive seasons, he pledged a continuation of the free ration benefits till the month of November, keeping in mind the increased needs of the people during this time.

      Timely Decision Saved Lives

      Modi brought up India's COVID-19 death toll, and stated that the situation in the country is better in that regads in comparison to many other countries. He claimed that timely decision of implementing the lockdown had saved many lives.

      More Vigilance, Less Negligence

      Bringing up the topic of Unlock 2.0, Modi mentioned the upcoming flu season and suggested extra vigilance to avoid falling prey to infections. He also mentioned that there have been reported cases of negligence by many in terms of wearing marks, observing social distancing, and washing hands for 20 seconds, and requested the citizens of the country to continue following the rules.
