Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday stressed on the development of villages to achieve the goal of making India a “five trillion dollar economy,” a target set by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also said that development of villages is essential for the overall development of the country as the majority of Indians live in villages.
Addressing the 41st convocation ceremony of the Institute of Rural Management (IRMA) in Gujarat, Mr. Shah said that he is of “the firm belief that development of the country is not possible without the development of its villages.”
The premier institute, imparting rural management education, was set up by Dr. Varghese Kurien, Father of the White Revolution in India. Over 250 students received their management degrees in rural management during the ceremony on Sunday.
