Parli Vaijnath (Maharashtra): Maharashtra state agriculture and guardian minister of Beed district Dhananjay Munde has promised to develop Beed at a similar pace under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as India is moving towards becoming a world Guru.
While India is riding a development wave, Beed district will also be developed in the same manner, Munde said as he presented a blueprint for a District Development Strategy (DDS) and announced an agriculture college and private medical institute besides ending the drought in the region.
He said for the DDS to be implemented properly it is necessary to have the right Member of Parliament (MP) in Lok Sabha that is the only path to development of the district.
Munde presented the blueprint for the development of Beed district in the Samvad meeting of the educational directors, professors, teachers and non-teaching staff organised for the campaign of BJP Beed Lok Sabha candidate and his cousin Pankaja Munde.
He said that Beed district is wrongly known as sugarcane labourers’ district, and a backward district. “However, we are going to implement the DDS plan in full to erase this identity and come forward as a permanently developed district,” he added.
According to the DDS plan, the development formula will be changed from top down in Beed district. Irrigation is a major problem of Beed district and to bring the large amount of arid land and seasonal arable agriculture under permanent irrigation, sea water from western channel will be brought into the district.
At the same time, soybean processing industry will be set up in the district, which is a large soybean producing district.
Two agricultural colleges are coming up soon in Parli. Along with this, a private medical college will also be set up, he said.
He further said that Beed district will be the leader in the process of fulfilling the vision of Prime Minister Modi’s dream of a developed India and “we will try to progress to such an extent that Beed competes with the most developed district in the state in the next five years”.
“So it is necessary for all to try with all their might so that she should enter the sovereign house with a huge majority of votes,” Munde said.
Munde also admitted: “Pankaja and I, were working against each other for the last twelve years. Because of that, everyone had a problem. But by the grace of Lord Vaijnath, things changed and today we are together.
“We are working towards a solution. So everyone’s problem will be solved. Now the only aim is to end all the differences of caste, religion, creed and take Beed district into the mainstream of development,” the state minister said.
