NEW DELHI: As many as 360 ‘Vibrant Villages’ along India’s land borders would have 4G connectivity by June this year. This was stated by Union Home Minister while interacting with special guests from those villages.
The guests included sarpanchs, deputy sarpanchs, women entrepreneurs and students, who were invited to attend the Republic day parade here.
Out of the 662 ‘Vibrant Villages’, 474 of them will have on-grid and 127 villages will have off-grid electrification. These initiatives are part of the government’s mission to transform the villages through “a bottom to top approach”.
Shah underlined that these initiatives focus not only on building essential infrastructure like roads, railways, and air connectivity, but also to reduce the ‘Dil ki Doori’ between Delhi and such villages.
He discussed with them the significant strides made under the initiative, underscoring that it marks the beginning of a shift in mindset and approach towards rural development.
