A ‘Viksit Gaon’ is an achievable reality: Chandrasekhar

New Delhi, July 14 (UNI) Calling for a renewed focus on grassroots development, Union Minister of State for Rural Development Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar has noted that a ‘Viksit Gaon’ where every family has a pucca house with basic amenities, every youth is employed, and every woman is economically empowered is not a distant dream — it is an achievable reality.

Speaking at the first Performance Review Committee meeting of the Ministry of Rural Development here, Dr Chandrasekhar underscored the critical role of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) in building a ‘Viksit Gaon’ as the foundation for a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047, according to a statement here today.
