New Delhi: Narendra Modi Government will restructure UPA’s flagship programme Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act by linking employment with development in rural areas and “rigorously” implement the new land acquisition law.
Senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde, who took over as the minister for rural development on Tuesday, said that proper implementation of recently enacted Land Acquisition law and Modi’s key electoral plank that every household will be provided sanitation and drinking water will be his priority.
Mr Munde, who is also the minister for panchayati raj and sanitation, said that the rural job scheme Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) will be restructured to ensure development of villages and provide employment to rural poor.
