The initiative is aimed at social upliftment of people through education, health, women empowerment and social justice. 


Among other things, the initiative endeavours to help students from the poorest sections of the society.


It aims to connect the needy with the right organisation and its endeavour is to see that 'poorna swaraj' reaches every person of the country.


Formally launching the initiative during an event to mark the 90th anniversary of Essel Group at the Indira Gandhi stadium here, the PM said that this enterprising and intuitive social initiative will immensely benefit the needy.


"One motivation behind our success is my grandfather Jagannath Goenka's counsel - Never be afraid of difficulties and never compromise on your promise and honesty," Dr Chandra said.
