July 1 was a red letter day for 16 young professionals who want to contribute to making things better in India while pursuing their passions. That day, their bright ideas for the nation were appreciated by none other than Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, who spent a good 90 minutes with them.
Of the more than 5 lakh contributors to the mygov.in portal launched by Modi last year to invite public opinion in improving governance, the 16 participants were shortlisted in the 'social influencer' category. For almost all of them, meeting the prime minister was a dream come true.
"How often does an ordinary citizen get appreciated by the PM himself for ideas to improve the lives of country persons," Praveen Singh, one of the 16 professionals, told Mail Today. The association of Praveen, who runs an advertising agency in Mumbai, with the mygov.in platform started last year when Modi urged people to join it and suggest ways to improve governance. "I have been contributing ideas for multinational corporations. So I thought why not generate ideas for my own country," he said. Praveen also plans many community events in his native village Utrauli in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh.
Recently I visited to my village with great curiosity after a long gap. I found that road (Taarighat Bara Road) from Reotipur to Bare in very bad shape. I looking worst of my life ever seen.I visited from Varanasi to Bhadaura. I found that road is dusty , broken and unsafe for driving In spite of it , buses are running . we are living in cities do not know the pain of villagers.
When I talked to people , they said road is not going to be repaired soon ,we will have to wait for next election. Why govt is not paying attention since many years not understood.
Now road is called Tuberculosis Road (TB Taaright Baara road ) by villagers.
Good News:
Durga Temple floor is being renovated looking clean and fresh than before , committee for repairing,having short of funds but still hopeful to build a marvelous top in future . Mr. Bahadur Singh was supervising the renovation and trying his best to collect fund . Anyway something is better than nothing.
