The actress-turned-politician visited the village in her constituency yesterday and interacted with representatives of various departments in the premises of a primary school.
Hema Malini's representative Janardan Sharma said a policy has been constituted under which all departments will first use the budget allocated under the current financial year and will thereafter use the MP fund to meet the expenses.
PWD will construct a 1.3 km long road to connect the village with Mathura-Baldev Marg at the cost of Rs 1.5 crore and will also build paved cement roads costing about Rs 3 crore in the village, Sharma said.
Other development plans include availability of fresh drinking water, primary health centres, veterinary treatment centres and the construction of stadiums and multi-purpose halls.
There are also plans to provide social pension for BPL families, widows and senior citizens.
An NGO from Kolkata has also offered to construct houses for 100 families costing Rs 1.5 lakhs under an initiative undertaken by Hema Malini, the BJP MP's secretary Sukumar Pramanik said.
Malini had decided to adopt Raval village under the scheme in October last year on the occasion of Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narayan's birthday.
