(PTI/File)Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation today at 9 am before he inaugurates key irrigation schemes in Uttar Pradesh and leaves for Jhansi to hand over locally produced military hardware to Indian armed forces on the final day of ‘Rashtra Raksha Samparpan Parv’.
“Today is the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Today, PM will inaugurate key schemes relating to irrigation in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh,” his office said in a tweet. “Then, he will go to Jhansi for the ‘Rashtra Raksha Samparpan Parv.’ Before all of these programmes, he will address the nation at 9 AM,” it added.
The last time the Prime Minister addressed the nation was right after India scripted history by becoming only the second country after China to reach the one billion Covid-19 vaccinations milestone mark in October.
Later in the day, in Mahoba, Modi will inaugurate various irrigation and water projects worth Rs 3,250 crore, including the Arjun Sahayak Irrigation Project, the Ratauli Weir Project, the Bhaoni Dam Project and the Majhgaon-Chilli Sprinkler Project. The development works aim to facilitate the irrigation of around 65,000 hectares of land in Mahoba and its neighbouring districts such as Hamirpur, Banda and Lalitpur. The Prime Minister will then travel to Jhansi to lay the foundation stone of a 600-MW ultramega solar power park in Garautha worth Rs 3,000 crore. He will also inaugurate the Atal Ektaa Park there
