Bihar has launched ‘Smart Villages’ programme: Nitish
Patna,(BiharTimes): Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday said his government through Seven Resolves (Saat Nishchay) has launched programmes to create ‘Smart Villages’ so that people do not need to move to cities.
Addressing Chetna Sabha during the fourth phase of Nishchay Yatra at Saharsa on Saturday he, while referring to Narendra Modi’s ‘Smart Cities’ programme, said he does not know how a city could be made smart at a meagre sum of Rs 500 crore over a period of five years. But his government aimed at creating smart villages by implementating Seven Resolves, which had programmes for providing free electricity connections, toilets, drinking water and sewage connections to each area.
He asked the crowd would anyone move to town or city when all villages of Bihar become smart.
