Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi today launched a novel initiative called ‘Aapno Taluko - Vibrant Taluko' (ATVT) at Dabhoi taluka in Vadodara district. The programme, covering 225 talukas of Gujarat, aims at enabling talukas to become self-governing units that possesses all modern-day facilities too.

In the first phase, the programme will be implemented in 51 talukas and will soon cover all 225 talukas.

Chief Minister, on the occasion, threw open to people a newly-built ‘Taluka Seva Sadan' and ‘Janseva Kendra' at Dabhoi. He said that ATVT aims at decentralizing the administrative power, making government machinery more accessible to the people. The programme will enable talukas to set their own vision; make their own planning and solve their problems on their own, he said.

Describing ATVT as a revolutionary experiment and the first of its kind in the country, Chief Minister called upon people to involve themselves in the programme and organize seminars to assure development for their talukas.

Revenue Minister Smt.Anandiben Patel expressed happiness that with ATVT state government would reach to the doorstep of the people and make modern-day facilities available to the remotest people. ATVT will ease the development process in talukas, she said.

Chief Secretary Shri A.K.Joti said that people will be able to hand over their applications and grievances pertaining to the various schemes at the Janseva Kendra of their taluka, which will save their time and money.

Minister of State Shri Jitendra Sukhadiya and Shri Jaydrathsinhji Parmar, Parliamentary Secretary Shri Yogesh Patel, MPs, MLAs, government office bearers and people in large number were present on the occasion.

CM's quotes at Dabhoi

“Dabhoi's Taluka Seva Sadan is even more attractive than Chief Minister's Office. How good, if I be a TDO here instead of a Chief Minister! It is the most beautiful offices among around 6000 taluka blocks in entire country.”

“If states are growing only with the Centre's help, they all will grow the way Gujarat grows. It is because of the blessings of six crore Gujaratis, novel initiatives, powerful team and skillful leadership that Gujarat tops the country.”

“Government officials have worked much more in last decade than they worked in past 30 years. State government has rebuilt Kutch after earthquake and showed its strength to those who were skeptical about its rebuilding.”

“ Gujarat pre-plans for growth. It's not our policy to dig well after fire occurs.”

“It is not Narendra Modi who settles for anything less than the best. When I get better, I wish for getting the best.”

“I have also been connected to the country and the world through my YouTube channel. I also have subscribers in decent numbers”
“Together, we can bring transformation in the lives of a vast population in our country”
“Awaken the nation, initiate a movement”
“Subscribe to my channel and hit the Bell Icon to receive all my updates”

My YouTuber friends, today I am extremely happy to be here among you as a fellow YouTuber. I am also just like you, not any different. Since 15 years, I have also been connected to the country and the world through a YouTube channel. I also have subscribers in decent numbers.

I have been told that a big community of about 5,000 creators, aspiring creators is present here today. Some work on gaming, some educate on technology, some do food blogging, while some are travel bloggers or lifestyle influencers.

Friends, for years, I have been observing how your content impacts the people of our country. And we have an opportunity to make this impact even more effective. Together, we can bring transformation in the lives of a vast population in our country. Together, we can empower and strengthen many more individuals. Together, we can easily teach and make crores of people understand important matters. We can connect them with us.

Friends, although there are thousands of videos on my channel, the most satisfying for me has been when I talked to lakhs of students in our country through YouTube on subjects like exam stress, expectation management, productivity.

When I am amidst such a big creative community of the country, I feel like talking to you about some topics. These topics are connected with mass movement, the power of the people of the country is the basis for their success.

The first topic is cleanliness - Swachh Bharat became a big campaign in the last nine years. Everyone contributed to it, children brought an emotional power to it. Celebrities gave it heights, people in all corners of the country turned it into a mission and YouTubers like you made cleanliness more cool.

But we don't have to stop. Till the time cleanliness does not become India’s identity, we won’t stop. Therefore, cleanliness must be a priority for each one of you.

The second topic is - Digital payments. Due to the success of UPI, India today has 46 percent share in digital payments of the world. You should inspire more and more people of the country to make digital payments, teach them to make digital payments in simple language through your videos.

Another topic is Vocal For Local. In our country, so many products are made at the local level. The skill of our local artisans is amazing. You can promote them also through your work, and help in making India's local turn global.

And I have one more request. Inspire others also, make an emotional appeal that we will buy the product that has the fragrance of our soil, which has the sweat of a labourer or artisan of our country. Whether it's Khadi, handicrafts, handloom, or anything else. Awaken the nation, initiate a movement.

And one more thing I'd like to suggest from my side. Along with the identity that you have as a YouTuber, can you add an activity. Consider putting a question at the end of each episode or provide action points to do something. People can do the activity and share it with you. This way, your popularity will also grow, and people will not just listen but also engage in doing something.

I really enjoyed talking to all of you. What do you say at the end of your videos... I will also repeat it: Subscribe to my channel and hit the Bell Icon to receive all my updates.

Wishing you all the best.
