On his first visit to Kiphire – the Aspirational District of Nagaland – today, Parshottam Rupala, Union Minister of Fishery, Animal and Dairying proudly lauded the Initiative of Aspirational Districts Model introduced under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Union Minister stated that the Aspirational District model has been appreciated globally.
It is through this model that the GoI is trying to bridge a gap of economic development between different districts of India, as only when the lacking districts are lifted can India progress ahead, he stated.

Lauding the GoI for providing 50% Subsidies under his department’s schemes, Rupala said India has never witnessed such a huge subsidy provided by any government in the past decades.
With majority of the population in Nagaland being non-vegetarian, he added that the state has paramount advantage in this sector which will help boost its economy.
The central government has high hopes and expectations from the officers and workers in charge of all aspirational districts in India as they are the ones with huge responsibility in bringing India to the forefront, stated the Union Minister.
