Modi urges officers to take postings in backward districts

New Delhi, Jan 5: Prime Minister rendra Modi on Friday said uplifting backward districts of a region will transform the entire state and urged government officials to challenge themselves by taking postings in those districts.

Modi said that by creating success stories in such backward districts — which he dubbed the aspiratiol districts — an environment of confidence would be created among people who would start believing that anything is possible.

“Once the people of India decide to do something, nothing is impossible,” Modi said at a conference on “Transformation of Aspiratiol Districts”.

“Serving in less developed districts may not be glamorous but it provides a massive opportunity to bring a positive difference through innovative means. (IANS)
