Telangana Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday stressed the importance of enhancing rural connectivity for improving the livelihoods and for the economic development of the people in rural areas.
The governor was chief guest at the 64th foundation day celebrations of the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (NIRDPR) at Rajendranagar in Hyderabad. She said that better connectivity, roads and better other infrastructure in rural areas would help villages become self-sustainable and prevent people’s migration to cities.
She exhorted the scientists and the functionaries of the NIRDPR to do intensive research and submit vital inputs for the governments to chalk out effective rural development initiatives.
