Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated developmental projects worth more than Rs 16,800 crores at Deoghar, saying these projects would give a huge impetus to connectivity, energy, healthcare, faith, and tourism in Jharkhand.
”Along with connectivity, the central government is focusing on the creation of facilities at important places related to faith and spirituality in the country,” he pointed out while addressing a gathering.
The PM remarked that the country has been working for the last eight years with the thinking that the development of the states was critical for the development of the country. In the last 8 years, efforts have been made to connect Jharkhand by highways, railways, airways, and waterways. All these facilities would positively impact the economic development of the state, he added.
Modi noted that Jharkhand was getting its second airport. This would lead to tremendous ease for devotees of Baba Baidyanath. In the context of making air travel affordable for the common man through the UDAN scheme, the PM said the benefits of the efforts of the government were now visible across the country. About 70 new locations have been added through airports, heliports, and water aerodromes in the last 5-6 years under the UDAN scheme.
