Gorakhpur (UP), Sep 28 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said self-reliant panchayats would be the foundation for the ‘Viksit Bharat - Viksit Uttar Pradesh 2047’ mission.

Addressing district and block-level panchayat chiefs and members under the 'Viksit UP@2047' dialogue series, Adityanath asked them to adopt innovations in their annual plans and give equal priority to welfare and income generation.

“Healthy competition among panchayats will create new models of development and ensure good governance,” he said.

The 'Viksit UP@2047' initiative is not just a government programme but a collective resolve requiring people's participation, he said.

“India's soul lives in the villages, and panchayats are the real architects of this vision,” Adityanath said.
