PM Modi's development initiatives transformed villages: Sarbananda Sonowal

Sarbananda Sonowal highlights PM Modi's decade-long rural empowerment strategy focusing on education, infrastructure, and grassroots development

"Direct Benefit Transfer is the cure for the cancer of corruption - Sarbananda Sonowal"

Guwahati, May 2

Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, while campaigning for the Panchayat polls, said on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government's village development initiatives have transformed the rural infrastructure across the country.

Speaking at a poll rally at Maloibari in Kamrup district, Sonowal said the decade of development under PM Modi has seen a renewed focus on empowering villages through quality education, better infrastructure, and stronger local institutions.

"Education is the foundation of empowerment. Over the past 10 years, the Narendra Modi led NDA government has taken significant steps to ensure that the Yuva Shakti in even the most remote villages of Assam have access to quality learning, better schools, and opportunities to dream big," Sonowal said.

"We have invested in school infrastructure, digital learning tools, scholarships, and teacher training. These are the building blocks of Viksit Bharat."

The Union Minister further noted that initiatives like NEP 2020 reforms are paving the way for inclusive and modern education across the country, especially in rural and tribal areas.

"By upgrading school facilities, ensuring free uniforms, books, mid-day meals, and integrating technology into classrooms, we are not just creating better access to education but also helping shaping the minds of the students--we are building confident citizens who can take Panchayati Raj institutions forward. They are our future and one that is most important to realise the vision of 'Viksit Bharat'," Sonowal added.

He further said: "PM Modi has ensured that the middle-man politics of Congress is routed completely off the system. Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) is the one of the many cures for cancer of corruption sowed by decades of corrupt, inefficient and mis-governance by the Congress. Funds are now reaching the grassroots, directly into the accounts of the beneficiaries. Local institutions are involved in planning and executing development projects. Education, healthcare, infrastructure--all are now within reach of rural families."

The Union Minister stressed that these interventions are not just statistics on paper but real benefits changing the lives of rural children, women, farmers, and youth.

"Through scholarships, digital classrooms, and support for girl child education, we are ensuring no one is left behind. The Modi government's commitment to Nari Shakti has ensured greater representation of women in Panchayati Raj institutions, empowering them to lead decision-making at the grassroots.Through schemes like Ujjwala Yojana, Poshan Abhiyan, and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, women across rural Assam are becoming agents of change in their communities," Sonowal added.

As someone from a small village in Assam, I can see the difference Modi ji's schemes have made. Our school now has computers and proper toilets. My daughter gets free textbooks and the mid-day meal helps poor families. But implementation could be faster - some teachers still need better training. 👍

The Ujjwala Yojana has been a game-changer for rural women! No more smoke-filled kitchens. But I wish they'd focus more on maintaining the gas connections - refills are expensive for BPL families. Still, credit where it's due - this government understands village needs better than previous ones.

Digital India reaching villages is fantastic! My nephew in a remote Assam village attends online classes now. But internet connectivity remains patchy - hope 5G reaches interiors soon. The DBT system is transparent though, no more siphoning off funds by middlemen like before.

As a teacher in rural Assam, I've seen both positives and gaps. Smart classrooms are great but many villages still lack basic infrastructure. The NEP 2020 is progressive but needs more teacher training workshops. The scholarship schemes for girls however are truly empowering! 👏

While development is visible, we must acknowledge regional disparities. Some districts in Assam have transformed while others lag behind. The government should ensure balanced development across all regions. That said, the focus on women's participation in Panchayats is revolutionary for rural India!

The Poshan Abhiyan has improved nutrition awareness in our village anganwadis. But implementation varies - some centers get regular supplies while others don't. Still, seeing women lead panchayats and make decisions gives me hope for my daughter's future. #ViksitBharat
