Govt. plans to map all gram panchayats, says Kishan Reddy

Demographic, infrastructure profiles to be available on a mobile app

Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Northeast States Development G. Kishan Reddy on Tuesday said that under the ‘Azad Ki Amrut Mahotsav’ all the gram panchayats will be mapped with regard to their demographic and infrastructure profiles involving sarpanches and headmasters so that eventually all the information will be available in a mobile app. Stating that the 75th year Independence Day celebrations will continue for the next one year, he said unsung heroes of the Freedom Struggle will be unearthed and those involved in the independence struggle but denied pensions will be covered during this period. “The celebrations will be taken up in coordination with all State governments and all political parties in a bipartisan manner so that every citizen feels proud about the country’s progress and help prepare a roadmap for the centenary celebrations in 2047 as enunciated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he told a press conference at the party office.
