Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and Kumari Pratima Bhoumik will share their views on the topic, “Reaching The Last Mile: Developing The Rest of India.”
“This year’s theme ‘Reaching The Last Mile: Developing The Rest of India’ is more important today than it was in the past... not just only for political parties but consumer goods organisation and other service organisations are now eyeing people of the bottom of the pyramid. Crores of people are looking forward for the upcoming 2024 elections,” said Panda. According to Panda, there is a need to ensure that all the government schemes reach the people.
“BJP’s decade long policy of Antyodaya which is about reaching the last mile also known as the bottom of the pyramid has been the Prime Minister’s stated objective.
