Gandhinagar, 23 November 2014

Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today visited small Lilapur village in Daskroi taluka of Ahmedabad district and launched MLA Adarsh Gram Yojana in the state.

A simple function was held on this occasion in Lilapur.

Chief Minister wished that all MLAs of Gujarat would make Prime Minister’s dream of Sansad Adarsh Gram initiative real by adopting one village.

The Chief Minister on this occasion said that the first condition of ideal village is cleanliness and healthy environment. Chief Minister herself took broom in her hand and cleaned an area in this village with villagers.

She spoke about some of the ideas like vermicompost production from waste, celebration of daughter’s birth with plantation of five trees, each villager adopting one task of his/her own interest in village, toilet in each house, ideal facility for primary education, health services, freedom from intoxicants etc.

She said Adarsh gram is not just about physical infrastructure, but it is about development of all. Adarsh gram is not about adding lights to streets through power, but it is about adding light to village through education, samskar, character of helping each other, betterment in daily life, clean environment etc.

Lilapur has population of around 12,00 people. It is located in Anandiben Patel’s assembly constituency area of Ghatlodia. Lilapur has yet to complete 40% CC road works, 20% drainage works, 33% toilet works. The village also seeks betterment of crematorium. The village also seeks health center.
