Modi highlighted that this soil has given birth to literary giants like Phanishwarnath Renu and Satinath Bhaduri.
He further noted that it has been the karmabhoomi of dedicated karmayogis like Vinoba Bhave and reiterated his deep reverence for this land.
PM Modi said that these projects—spanning railways, airports, electricity, and water—will serve as a means to fulfill the aspirations of Seemanchal.
He stated that over 40,000 beneficiaries have received permanent housing under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
