Soon after taking charge of Union Rural Development, Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water and Sanitation Ministries, Narendra Singh Tomar on Wednesday said that he will make all efforts to give concrete shape to PM Narendra Modi’s dream of inclusive development which is closely linked to the development of rural India.
“I will take all steps to give concrete shape to the Prime Minister’s dream of inclusive development. The overall growth of the country depends on development of villages, and that this ministry has been working (on) for more than last two years and will continue to do so," he said.
Tomar was earlier the Minister of Steel and Mines.
Replying to a question that he had been assigned a high profile ministry, Tomar said whatever role the party would assign to him, he will try to do justice to it as a simple party worker.
Besides Rural Development, he will also hold the charge of Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water and Sanitation. He also praised outgoing Minister Birender Singh for expediting the implementation of MGNREGA and PMGSY. Singh has been shifted to the Steel and Mines Ministry.
