Villages in India moving towards the path of self-reliance: Amit Shah

“Today, villages are also moving forward in the direction of self-reliance. Development in rural areas can be seen on the ground. We have made parameters for the development of villages. It is said that India resides in villages. So our government is focusing more on the development of villages,” Home Minister Amit Shah added. 

Speaking about deploying basic amenities to the rural community, the Union Home Minister went on to say, "The aspect of rural development is to make villages convenient. For this, remote connectivity of villages is necessary. There was no electricity in the village, we gave it to them."
