 Prime Minister Narendra Modi today stressed on the need to work towards the development of weaker districts of the country.
Mr Modi said this after inaugurating the two-day National Legislators Conference at the Central Hall of Parliament. He said, the government has identified 115 districts which are weaker on various parameters of development.
He said, it is now essential to identify the areas where these districts need improvement and then address the shortcomings so that they can come at par with best performing districts.
The Prime Minister said, there is a need to work in a mission mode and bring a positive change as the government's aim is social justice. He said, working on these aspirational districts will improve India's standing in the Human Development Index.
Mr Modi said, a spirit of competitive and cooperative federalism is very good for the country.
Speaking on the occasion, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan called upon the MPs and MLAs to make sure that fruits of welfare projects reach the last man standing in the queue.
