The Impressive TimesNew Delhi- Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday listened to the 139th episode of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ at the Municipal Councillor’s Office in Khera Kalan, Outer Delhi, along with local residents. Addressing those present after the programme, she said that ‘Mann Ki Baat’ is a powerful medium for inspiring the nation, promoting positivity and encouraging public participation.
She said the Prime Minister uses simple, accessible language to highlight the outstanding work being done by ordinary citizens, social organisations and different communities across the country. This not only brings recognition to their efforts but also inspires others to contribute to society and the nation. Through ‘Mann Ki Baat’, the Prime Minister introduces the country’s 140 crore citizens to initiatives that are bringing positive change to society.
MP Yogendra Chandolia, MLA Raj Karan Khatri and several other dignitaries and local residents were present on the occasion.
Development in Delhi’s villages gaining momentum
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that basic problems in Delhi’s villages, including broken roads, inadequate bus services, street lighting, community meeting halls, sewerage and water pipelines, had long remained unaddressed. Work is now progressing rapidly to resolve these issues. The government’s priority is to provide villages with better facilities, stronger infrastructure and development opportunities comparable to those available in urban areas. Development work has gathered pace over the past year, with its impact becoming visible on the ground.
She said development projects worth more than ₹400 crore had been undertaken in the Narela Assembly constituency. Local public representatives are also working to address residents’ concerns by staying in touch with them. Projects involving roads, drinking water and sewer pipelines, along with other development works, are progressing in this direction. The Chief Minister said she was herself a daughter of a village and understood the problems, expectations and sentiments of rural families. The government aims to address village-related issues in a phased manner and ensure planned development.
All villages in Delhi to see comprehensive development
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said no area of Delhi would be left behind in the development process. The government aims to expand basic facilities across the capital and bridge the gap in amenities between rural and urban areas. The remaining 48 villages in Delhi have also been urbanised. The government is working to ensure that development projects across Delhi proceed in a planned manner, providing residents in every area with better roads, water supply, sewerage, lighting and other essential facilities.
Prime Minister’s inspiring thoughts offer a message of social participation
Referring to ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the Prime Minister Ji shares his thoughts on important subjects such as Indian culture, social concerns, science, technology, health, the environment and nation-building through the programme. Mentioning the contribution of Maharishi Valmiki, she stressed the need to familiarise the younger generation with the thoughts and ideals of great personalities who have enriched Indian society and culture.
Expressing gratitude to the Prime Minister on behalf of the people of Delhi, the Chief Minister urged citizens to recognise and support positive initiatives around them and actively contribute to making Delhi cleaner and more developed. She also extended her wishes to residents for the upcoming festivals and expressed confidence that collective efforts by public representatives, the administration and citizens would further accelerate development in both rural and urban areas.
