JAMMU, Dec 26: The policy envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon put an end to the difference between urban and rural lifestyles as the same convenience and facilities will be available in villages as are currently available in cities.
This was stated by DDC Chairman Jammu, Bharat Bhushan Bodhi while inaugurating upgradation work of Chuchu De Amb to Lohrichak road with an estimated cost of Rs 4.17 crores, under NABARD scheme at Marh constituency.
Former Minister Sukhnandan Choudhary, BJP State President Kissan Morcha Omi Khajuria, Sarpanch and Panchs of Panchayat Gajansoo were also present.
Speaking on the occasion, the DDC Chairman said that development of rural areas holds much significance as still large segments of the population live in villages. He said that development of villages has been one of the priorities of the Modi Government and the imbalance between Urban and Rural areas has to be removed to offer quality life to people living in far off hamlets. He said that villages have to be self-sufficient and agriculture has to be made more profitable, and for this roads and other infrastructure has to be made robust.
Bharat Bhushan asserted that the Central Government headed by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is committed to develop rural areas at par with urban areas as the same is a prerequisite for making India a developed nation.
Former Minister Sukhnandan Choudhary, in his address, said that the Central Government has formulated various exclusive schemes to benefit the people hailing from rural India who will eventually become the pillars of the country’s economy in the long run. He informed that the BJP Government-led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is concerned about every citizen and concrete measures will be taken to address the grievances of people at the earliest.
Meanwhile, the DDC Chairman welcomed the draft proposal of the Delimitation Commission, granting six of the seven additional assembly seats in the Union Territory to Jammu. “This is for the first time that people of Jammu have got their due share. The 2011 census was manipulated by those in power; now all wrong things have been set right by the Delimitation Commission,” he said, terming it as a big achievement for the people of Jammu region.
