Ram belongs to everyone, says PM Modi

Published By : Admin | August 5, 2020 | 13:23 IST

After Bhoomi Pujan of grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Bhagwaan Ram is omnipresent, He belongs to everyone and is the source of India’s unity in diversity. PM Modi said, “There is no aspect of life where Ram does not inspire. Ram is in the faith of India; Ram is in the ideals of India. There is Ram in the divinity of India.”

Referring to the various sacred versions of Ramayana which are available, PM Modi said, “In the Valmiki Ramayana, Ram guided the ancient India thousands of years ago. During the middle ages, Ram strengthened India through Tulsi, Kabir and Nanak. The same Ram was present in Bapu's hymns as a power of non-violence and Satyagraha at the time of freedom struggle. Lord Buddha is also associated with Rama and Ayodhya, for centuries, has been a centre of Jainism. This omnipresence of Ram is the life character of unity in India's diversity!”

The Prime Minister remarked that Ram is everywhere and belongs to everyone. “Ram appears in different forms at different instances, but Ram is everywhere. Kamba Ramayana in Tamil, Raghunath and Ranganath Ramayana in Telugu, Ruipad-Katedapadi Ramayana in Odia, the Kumudendu Ramayana in Kannada. When we go to Kashmir, we find the Ramavatar Charit, we find the Ramacharitam in Malayalam. There is Krittivasi Ramayana in Bengali, Guru Gobind Singh has written Gobind Ramayana himself. Therefore, Ram is the source of India's unity in diversity.”

The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, today has given its approval for the continuation of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana-III (PMGSY-III) beyond March 2025 upto March 2028. It involves consolidation of Through Routes and Major Rural Links connecting habitations to Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs), Higher Secondary Schools and Hospitals. The revised outlay of the scheme will be Rs.83,977 crore.

The Cabinet further, amongst other things, approved the following:

  • Revision of outlay to Rs. 83,977 crore from original outlay of Rs.80,250 crore.

Benefits:

The extension of the timeline of PMGSY-III will enable the full realization of its intended socio-economic benefits by ensuring completion of targeted upgradation of rural roads. It will significantly boost the rural economy and trade by enhancing market access for agricultural and non-farm products, reducing transportation time and costs, and thereby improving rural incomes. Improved connectivity will facilitate better access to education and healthcare institutions, ensuring timely delivery of essential services, particularly in remote and underserved areas.

The continued implementation will also generate substantial employment opportunities, both directly through construction activities and indirectly by promoting rural enterprises and services. Overall, the extension will contribute to inclusive and sustainable development by bridging the rural-urban divide and advancing the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
