Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address a conference on Transformation of Aspirational Districts organised by NITI Aayog today; PM will interact with officials in charge for transformation of over 100 backward districts.<\/p>\n
The event is in keeping with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a New India by 2022.<\/p>\n
In August last year, the Prime Minister addressed district collectors across India, via video conference, on the theme of ‘New India-Manthan’. He called on the collectors of 100 most backward districts to work in a mission mode to improve socio-economic conditions in their districts.<\/p>\n
Niti Ayaog has identified 115 such districts. It nominated senior government officials as ‘Prabhari’ officers for each of these districts in November last year. They will act as a bridge between the Centre and the district and will coordinate efforts between the Centre and states.<\/p>\n
Ahead of his interaction with the district collectors the Prime Minister tweeted – the Union Government has embarked upon major policy initiatives for the rapid transformation of districts that are lagging on specific development parameters. Senior Government officials have been designated as officers in-charge, to coordinate the efforts of the Centre and the States in addressing the specific developmental needs of these districts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
