Jharkhand, which was lagging in development, will also see rapid growth with the launch of these projects, he said.
“Jharkhand was lagging in development but now several projects would usher in progress here. Now, the Centre’s priority is development of tribals, poor, youth, women and Dalit,” Modi said, while virtually addressing people gathered at Tatanagar for the launch of Vande Bharat trains and several projects.
The PM apologised to the people for not being able to reach Tatanagar as “my chopper could not take off from Ranchi due to bad weather”.
He said rail and other projects would boost industry, tourism, economic growth and development in the eastern region.
Earlier, he virtually flagged off six Vande Bharat trains for Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar and UP at Ranchi.
On the occasion, Union Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Annapurna Devi and Sanjay Seth besides Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar were present at Tatanagar station.
