Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday reviewed the progress of key infrastructure sectors, including Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), housing, coal and power.
An official statement said that the Prime Minister has called for renewed efforts towards underground mining and coal gasification through infusion of latest technology inputs.
The statement also said that under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana , 81 per cent of the targeted habitations numbering about 1.45 lakh have so far been connected. Officials said progress is being made towards connecting all the remaining unconnected habitations within a defined timeframe.
The Prime Minister has also called for a detailed analysis of the complaints received from the Meri Sadak App.
Modi has said that the resources available for this work should be used optimally throughout the year. He also hoped that the advancement of the Union Budget date would lead to further improvement in performance, the statement added.
Reviewing the progress towards the roadmap to deliver one crore houses in rural areas by 2019, Modi said that the positive impact of housing on the lives of the beneficiaries should be suitably examined.
