A ‘Viksit Gaon' is an achievable reality: Dr. Pemmasani Chandrasekhar
Capital Information
|July 15, 2025
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.
He said rural development schemes are no longer just welfare measures but essential engines driving the nation's inclusive growth story under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Cabinet Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
