Referring to Katejhari village in Maharashtra, the Prime Minister said, “It is common to travel by bus but I want to tell you about a village where the bus came for the first time. The people there were waiting for this day for years and when the bus came to the village for the first time, people welcomed him by playing drums.
He also gave an example of the spread of educational facilities like science laboratories in Bastar and Dantewada regions of Chhattisgarh. Modi said, “I am happy to know that the results of class 10th and 12th were excellent.”
He said that Dantewada district topped Chhattisgarh in 10th grade examination with 95 percent results and it secured sixth position in the state in 12th grade examination.
The Prime Minister said that in the previous episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, he had discussed the success of science laboratories in Bastar Olympics and Maoist affected districts. Modi said, “The children here are obsessed with science and are doing amazing in sports. These efforts tell us that people living in these areas are courageous. Despite many challenges, he has chosen a path that improves his life. ”
The government has said that the fight against Naxalism has entered the decisive phase and has pledged to end this danger by 31 March next year.
