Imphal: The Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is a festival to highlight the socio-cultural, political and economic strength of the country said Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Thongam Biswajit Singh today at an “India@75: Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (Seminar-cum-Tree plantation)” at Zoumun to Sehken (MN03170), Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) road at Churachanpur organised by Rural Engineering Department/MSRRDA.
Addressing the seminar held at the Mata Community Hall, Mata Village Churachandpur, Biswajit said that it is an intensive, country-wide campaign, focused on peoples/citizens’ participation.
Biswajit explained, we have to encourage participation from the public, so that it will help in bringing changes in every locality through the various activities undertaken during the festival. This will provide a significant gain for the country, he added.
He said SAUBHAGYA is one such scheme that is part of the Atma Nirbhar India of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, providing power connection to even interior parts of the country.
He said, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was introduced by former Prime Minister Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee to bring equality between the villages and cities by enhancing connectivity and bring equal development.
Biswajit also said that PMGSY has been most beneficial for the hill districts. We may discuss, criticised or talk of the quality, but to have connectivity is the priority, he said adding that once we have the connectivity, we can always upgrade.
India, he said, is made all the states together and we cannot call India developed if we leave out any part of the country behind.
As such, Prime Minister is giving a lot of focus on the North East States be it in sports, road infrastructure, economy, women empowerment, etc, he added.
Minister Biswajit continued that it is a historic event that in recognition of Mary Kom’s performance, talents and achievements, she was nominated as Rajya Sabha MP by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Minister said that the tree plantation drive is a meaningful activity as it will help in checking the environmental degradation.
The seminar held at Mata Community Hall was also attended by Churachandpur A/C MLA Shri V Hangkhanlian; Chief Engineer, Rural Engineering Department Pantising Thaimei; Addl. Chief Engineer, Rural Engineering Department, Kh. Rajen Singh and department officials, among others.
