Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said his government's "intentions, policies and decisions" were empowering and transforming rural India, bringing prosperity to villages.

NEW DELHI: Speaking at the inauguration of Grameen Bharat Mahotsav at the Bharat Mandapam complex in the national capital, Modi said that since coming to power in 2014, he has been continuously working towards serving rural India.

Citing a recent survey, Modi said that, compared to 2011, consumption in rural India had nearly tripled, which showed that "people are spending more on their preferred items". The PM said that previously, villagers had to spend over 50% of their income on food, but for the first time since independence, expenditure on food in rural areas had fallen below 50%.
