Finance Minister P.T.R. Palanivel Thiaga Rajan said here on Sunday that the government was focused on ensuring that no district remained “underdeveloped.”
At the inauguration of “MindEscapes”, a private club in the Nilgiris, Mr. Thiaga Rajan said the government was committed to inclusive “Dravidian values of development, where no one is left behind.” This model of growth aims to ensure that all people have equal access to wealth, opportunities and services like education and healthcare.
“We are also keen on ensuring that any development in the Nilgiris is undertaken in a thoughtful, ecologically sustainable way,” he said.
