According to authorities, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched the Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan on Monday, launching PNG facilities in 41 villages and development projects in 178 more in Delhi. Lt Governor of Delhi VK Saxena and Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, were present at the function.
Shah stated that since piped gas has now begun to reach rural parts of Delhi, the day is significant. The individual identified a lack of water supply, roads, streetlights, ponds, sewer lines, children’s play areas, and parks in five villages of Delhi and decided to develop them. The Lt Governor has formed the Delhi Village Development and Welfare Committee, consisting of district magistrates, to identify works and schemes for the program, in consultation with local representatives, villagers, and local agencies.

The Minister also officially opened several additional development projects totaling Rs 383 crore, spanning 178 villages. In his speech, Shah stated that in the past, only promises were given; but, during the last ten years, Prime Minister Modi’s administration has changed society, and people can now observe tangible improvements in the real world, with the pledges being kept on schedule.
Minister Puri, along with Delhi L-G VK Saxena, and Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, have emphasized the government’s commitment to the welfare of all, including those living in villages. Puri stated that the government has fulfilled all promises made in the last 10 years and has provided over one crore PNG connections since 2014.
The Dilli Gramoday Abhiyan aims to develop Delhi’s villages through the establishment and enhancement of essential infrastructure, with the L-G initiating the Abhiyan in December last year to develop urbanized villages of the national capital. The Delhi Development Authority, under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, has financed a project with a budget exceeding Rs 800 crore.
‘Zero plus Zero = Zero’, Amit Shah mocks AAP-Cong alliance
“You can keep forming alliances, but Prime Minister Modi will return to power with over 400 seats,” Shah said. The Aam Aadmi Party retaliated against the home minister for his outburst, claiming that Delhi residents have consistently expressed their desire for an “honest government”. It stated that they would guarantee the BJP’s defeat in the next Lok Sabha elections and give Arvind Kejriwal more support in the legislature.
While inaugurating Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan, which would provide a piped natural gas supply line in 41 villages and developmental works in 178 villages in the national capital, Shah criticized the AAP. Lt Governor of Delhi V K Saxena and Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Puri joined him.

A sum of Rs 960 crore has been allocated by the Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan to create the infrastructure that is required in Delhi’s urbanized villages and new urban regions. In many Delhi villages, projects totaling Rs 383 crore have been approved for the current fiscal year. Fill up the gaps in the municipal facilities and infrastructure to improve the quality of life. Encourage the community to actively participate in the making of decisions. Assure fair access to opportunities and resources in the community.
PNG supply was initiated in 41 villages through a 100-kilometer pipeline network for Rs 20 crore by Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), aiming to provide safe, affordable, and eco-friendly energy options. The project includes improvements to roads, drains, footpaths, central verges, rainwater harvesting, village libraries, and sports facilities. The wider access to PNG has been reached through an extensive network, including an 11,000-kilometer extension to rural areas. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been praised by Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah for bringing about a new culture in India during the last ten years.
He commended Modi for giving the impoverished access to gas cylinders, piped gas, tap water, toilets, homes, and food grains, among other things. Shah highlighted Modi’s successful attempts to close the divide between country and city life. In several areas, including agriculture, science, education, artificial intelligence, solar energy, and PNG, Modi has sought to realize the aspirations of the populace. The Minister of Union Home and Cooperation commended Modi for his dedication to keeping his word.
