Today, the state has been provided with six new Vande Bharat trains, railway projects worth over Rs 650 crores, enhanced connectivity and travel infrastructure, and the added benefit of thousands of people receiving their own homes under the PM Awas Yojana. I extend my heartiest congratulations to the people of Jharkhand for these remarkable development initiatives," said PM Modi.


Addressing the crowd virtually, PM Modi said "Centre's priority is development of tribals, poor, youth and women: PM Modi at Ranchi in Jharkhand."
