During the programme at Mata village, minister Biswajit said that under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, numerous tree plantation programmes will be carried out at different places of the state within 75 weeks. It is the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to organise such a programme and more people and top government officials are requested to take part in it, he added.

He recalled that PMGSY was the brainchild of the former Prime Minister late Atal Vajpayee to bring closeness among Indians, be it in social and economic factors. He continued that the government in the four phases will focus and implement the scheme to the villages for road connectivity. The minister assured that by the end of the rainy season, all the pending works will be completed.
