Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways and Civil Aviation Gen. (Dr) Vijay Kumar Singh has said that he is satisfied with the development works taken up in education, health and other sectors in Yadgir district as it is one among the 112 aspirational districts in the country identified by NITI Aayog.
He was addressing a review meeting in Yadgir on Monday.
Gen. Singh said that maternal and infant mortality rates have been drastically reduced in the district and it is a good sign. However, the district administration should focus more on how to tackle malnutrition and weight loss issues among children within the age of six, he advised.
