"Government Gives High Priority to Districts with Rural or Semi-Rural Areas": Jitendra Singh

Jitendra Singh, presiding over the DISHA meeting of Amroha District in Uttar Pradesh, informed the District Collector and other Senior Officials that they should always keep Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for maximizing the reach and utilization of government schemes in rural India so that no one is left out in mind.

"The Modi Government has repeatedly stated that there will be no shortage of funds for any of the central rural schemes," he stated.

Singh quoted PM Modi as saying, "The country has made this resolve to cover 100 percent of the beneficiaries" over the last eight years, pointing out that PM Modi's welfare schemes have reached the neediest without regard for vote bank consideration. When all schemes are fully funded, appeasement politics come to an end. There is no room for it".

The Union Minister emphasized the importance of time-bound completion of development programmes, as well as the adoption of newer technologies and innovations for faster project completion without sacrificing quality.

Bal Krishna Tripathi, DM, Amroha, provided a detailed presentation on various CSS schemes currently being implemented in various sectors, including the financial and physical progress of mega projects such as PMGSY, Jal Jeevan Mission, Power, MGNREGA, PMAY-Rural & Urban, SBM-Grameen, Amrit Sarovar, and others.

Agriculture, horticulture, animal and sheep husbandry, beneficiary-oriented schemes, Ayushman Bharat Abhiyan-SEHAT, RBSK, PMBJAK, other social security schemes (pension/scholarship), employment generation schemes, and so on.

Singh stated that when Modi took office in May 2014, nearly half of the country's population lacked basic necessities such as toilets, housing, vaccinations, electricity connections, and bank accounts.

"Over the last eight years, the Centre has been able to bring many schemes closer to 100% saturation with Sabka Prayas. There is a new determination to make India a frontline state in the world over the next Amrit Kaala 25 years," he said.
