Prime Minister Modi said his government has given a human touch to governance. “With schemes like Vibrant Village Programme, we have given priority to the villages that were considered low-priority villages,” he said, adding that border villages were earlier considered the last villages for decades. “We gave priority to them and developed them.”
“‘Dil Se Dilli Ki Doori’ made the people of Northeast feel disconnected from the government. Here, too, we connected governance with a human touch. Now the ministers of the govt regularly visit the northeast, and even I’ve visited the Northeast over 50 times,” he said.
