Union Minister of Rural Development, Panchayati Raj, Sanitation and Drinking Water, Birender Singh, has adopted a village from the Hisar Lok Sabha constituency under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojna.
Singh has adopted Khatkar village and wants to work for its development.
"Birendra Singh and his wife will be welcomed by the people of Khatkar village tomorrow and a programme has been organised for the same. The people of the village are happy to know that Singh has been the first MP to adopt the village under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana," Singh's niece, Harendra Doomrakha said today.
Singh's wife and BJP MLA Premlata said there are several problems in Khatkar village.
"When I came here during elections, I found that there was a scarcity of essential commodities. Becoming a model village, the people will get better facilities here," she said.
The scheme was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort on August 15.
