Bhubaneswar: In an attempt to cover more panchayats under the ‘Ama Gaon Ama Vikash’ programme, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik Wednesday announced to take it to blocks rather than operating it at panchayat level.
Pursuing the interactive programme, Chief Minister has sanctioned Rs 1.41 crore for execution of 32 infrastructure projects in four GPs- Maidankela of Keonjhar district, Alasuguma of Ganjam, Barthala of Bolangir and Bhedabahal of Sundargarh district.
Rs 37 lakh has been sanctioned for implementation of 10 projects in Maidankela GP while Rs 34 lakh was released for six projects of Alasuguma, Rs 35 lakh for 9 projects of Barthala and Rs 35 lakh for 7 projects of Bhedabahal GP.
Expressing his delight for directly interacting with people of 50 panchayats, Naveen extolled the keen interest and initiative of the rural populace for the development of their own villages. He expressed his optimism that such an initiative for the rural mass would very soon transform the fate and image of their villages.
According to official sources, the CM has sanctioned Rs 21.37 crore for execution of 460 rural projects under the Ama Gaon Ama Vikash programme so far.
