Imphal, November 09 2021: Chief Minister N Biren on Tuesday launched the Go to Village (GTV 2.0) for Imphal East district at Takhel Youth Welfare Organisation playground.
Addressing the inaugural function of the three-day long GTV camp which is being hosted by the district administration of Imphal East, CM Biren said that there are still some political parties, which are not aware of the objective and achievement of Go to Village and Go to Hills programmes.
They are not aware how the government had distributed over 8 lakh health cards to the public through these camps out of which over 50,000 beneficiaries have received benefits under different health schemes.
Electricity connections and benefits for different government schemes are being provided under these programmes.
The government had already released books containing achievements along with photos, he said and advised all concerned to visit the camp and get a taste of the service being provided to the public.
Anchors of discussion programmes should seek details of programmes and schemes from the government so that they could make a good presentation of the facts for public knowledge.
Just having good oratory skill cannot suppress the truth, he said and urged to all to help in creating a positive vibe in the society for a better society.
He also said that India has become a global super power under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his positive mindset.

Various stalls of different departments and banks have been opened at camp, he said and urged the public to take full advantage of such GTV initiatives and access benefits of certain schemes being introduced for welfare of people.
