Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the roads built in villages in India in the last 9 years can cover the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
Modi was speaking at an event in Athens, Greece, where he is on a two-day visit. He said that the government has built over 1.25 lakh kilometers of roads in villages in the last 9 years.
“This is a record. The total distance of the roads built in villages in the last 9 years can cover the distance between the Earth and the Moon,” Modi said.
He said that the roads have helped to improve connectivity in rural areas and have brought economic benefits to the people.
“These roads have not only improved connectivity, but have also helped to boost economic activity in rural areas,” Modi said.
He said that the government is committed to building more roads in villages and to improving the quality of life of the people.
“We will continue to work hard to build a better future for the people of India,” Modi said.
The statement by Modi is a reminder of the scale of the infrastructure development that has taken place in India in recent years. The government has made a major investment in building roads, railways, airports, and other infrastructure projects. This has helped to improve connectivity and boost economic growth.
The development of roads in villages is particularly important as it helps to connect rural areas to the rest of the country. This can help to improve access to markets, education, and healthcare. It can also help to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for people in rural areas.
The government’s commitment to building more roads in villages is a positive step. It is a sign that the government is committed to improving the lives of the people and to creating a more prosperous India.
