Dr. Kalam showers praise on Narendra Modi's initiatives for rural development
Former President Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam has profusely praised
Narendra Modi's government's initiatives for rural development. He
was delivering the UPSC lecture on 'Governance and Public
Service'.
Dr. Kalam said that factors like lack of transparency hinder
development from reaching villages. He cited the programme of
Gujarat government to ensure that the rural sector reaps the
benefits of growth, as a model. Narendra Modi government has
implemented a programme under which every year in April and May,
nearly 1 lakh government officials including the CM himself down to
a taluka-level staff, spend a month in rural areas. They
demonstrate the best of technologies to farmers. Additionally, the
Gujarat government has also instituted an e-governance system which
links the panchayat level, district HQs, and the state govt
together and thus ensures transparency and speed in the decision
making process, Dr. Kalam pointed out.
Dr. Kalam observed that such initiatives indicate a strong
administrative will to ensure development reaches the rural sector.
He cited the example of Krushi Mahotsav which covers all 18,600
villages of Gujarat, and provides the villagers with information
and counselling on soil health, organic farming, technology and
inputs, irrigation, etc., besides infusing a new spirit of change
and mass mobilisation.
Dr. Kalam praised former Prime Ministers Atal Bihari Vajpayee and
Narsimharao for "excellent leadership" and taking difficult
decisions boldly. He also stressed upon the need for creative
leadership that can do a immense good to country's development. He
mentioned the names of C Subramanian, M S Swaminathan and B
Sivaraman, architects of the Green Revolution, space scientist
Vikram Sarabhai, Delhi Metro chief E Sreedharan and several other
visionaries to support his point.
