NEW DELHI: The path to Viksit Bharat will be built not merely in cities or industrial hubs but across our villages, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday.
In a series of posts on X social media platform, citing a media article written by her, she said this will be achieved by empowering farmers as entrepreneurs, converting every district into a processing hub, and ensuring that the fruits of India’s progress reach every household.
“An umbrella brand of Kalyana Sampada was created, and each district was encouraged to identify an agri-product or a set of products that could be developed into value-added commodities, ” said FM Sitharaman.
