Asserting that India has attained new milestones in ‘gram swaraj’ and democratic empowerment of panchayats in the last eight years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged sarpanches to make efforts for saturation coverage of welfare schemes, conserving water and making the upcoming Yoga Day special.
In a letter to sarpanches (village heads) days after his government marked its eighth anniversary, Mr. Modi listed several issues on which he sought their support while appreciating their contribution in the last eight years.
He asked them to work to make the eighth International Yoga Day, which falls on June 21, special and to encourage everyone in their village to join the exercise.
