Rural development minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday called on states to suggest fresh reforms for the uplift of hinterlands, and implement extant schemes effectively. India’s robust growth story and its vision to emerge as a developed nation by 2047, he underscored, are closely tied to the progress of its villages. States have the critical role of taking benefits of rural schemes to beneficiaries in even furthest corners. So they should suggest new measures, and whether existing programmes need a revamp, the minister said.
