Interesting to see this level of parliamentary cooperation in India. The focus on "aware society" is key—legislators need to actually listen to the people they represent, not just talk among themselves.
विकसित भारत 2047 का सपना तब साकार होगा जब हमारे विधायक जमीनी स्तर पर काम करेंगे। चंडीगढ़ में बैठकर चाय-पानी पीने से कुछ नहीं होगा। 😏
Glad to see Om Birla ji taking initiatives like this. The CPA Zone system is a good way to encourage regional dialogue. Hope they address issues like water sharing and infrastructure too, not just vision statements.
A two-day conference with so many speakers... let's hope the agenda is tight. The theme about "aware society" is promising—citizens need to be more informed to hold lawmakers accountable.
Another conference, another set of promises. I want to see action on farmer issues and job creation. विकसित भारत तब बनेगा जब हर गाँव तक विकास पहुंचेगा।
