Panchayati Raj Day: "I have this confidence that if someone is going to emerge victorious first in this fight against the coronavirus, it is going to be India's villages, the leadership of these villages..... The people of the villages will show the way to the country and the world," the PM said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called for ensuring that the second wave of COVID-19 is stopped from spreading to villages "by all means" and every person in rural areas is vaccinated, as he noted that the challenge before the country at present is bigger than last year. Appreciating the role of panchayats in the management of coronavirus, especially in creating awareness, PM Modi asked the local leadership to work towards "complete implementation of guidelines" that are being issued from time to time. "I have this confidence that if someone is going to emerge victorious first in this fight against the coronavirus, it is going to be India's villages, the leadership of these villages..... The people of the villages will show the way to the country and the world," the Prime Minister said. PM Modi was speaking at a virtual event to launch the distribution of e-property cards under the 'SWAMITVA' scheme on the National Panchayati Raj Day. Chief Ministers of eight states and a large number of local body representatives were also connected to the event virtually.
