Indian Bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Vinod Kumar also paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Chief Minister by giving him a Buddha statue. During this, various schemes of the Rural Development Department and issues related to their effective implementation in rural areas were discussed. Issues like expansion of basic facilities in villages through public welfare schemes of the Central and State Government, providing housing to poor families, development of rural connectivity routes, increasing employment opportunities and economically empowering women through self-help groups were discussed.

Shri Maurya said that the state government is running various programs with the aim of all-round development of rural areas, providing benefits of government schemes to eligible beneficiaries and making villages self-reliant. Schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and National Rural Livelihood Mission are playing an important role in improving the standard of living of rural families and increasing livelihood opportunities. Aspects related to extending the benefits of these schemes to the needy and maintaining effective departmental coordination in development works were also discussed.
