Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to gift 65 new projects worth Rs 421.54 crore to the people of Varanasi, which is his parliamentary constituency, on his next visit to the holy city
The approval of projects under the government's flagship Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme increased 44 per cent between April and August 18 this year
Interestingly, the rise in new projects is despite a fall in capacity utilisation
PM Modi is expected to make an announcement in this regard during his visit to the city on December 10
