JP Nadda Chairs Courtesy Meeting with Delegates of Villages under Phase-I of Vibrant Villages Programme

Indian-GRAPEVINE-jp-nadda-chairs-courtesy-meeting-with-delegates-of-villages-under-phase-i-of-vibrant-villages-progra

Published 15 Aug, 2025

By Staff Reporter


Jagat Prakash Nadda chaired a courtesy meeting with representatives from villages of five States/UTs (Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Ladakh) covered under the phase-I of the Vibrant Villages Programme, here today. He was joined by Smt. Punya Salila Srivastava, Union Health Secretary and Shri Rajendra Kumar, Secretary, Border Management.

The VVP Programme was launched on 10th April 2023 by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for identified villages of strategic importance in blocks abutting the northern border in mission mode, to improve the quality of life of people living in the identified border villages.

Addressing the occasion, Shri JP Nadda noted that the perception of border villages as the last villages of the country has transformed in recent years, with a new vision of recognizing them as the first villages of the nation and developing them into vibrant hubs. He emphasized that women’s and youth empowerment has been a central focus of this initiative, with training and skill development programmes aimed at fostering entrepreneurship in areas such as horticulture and floriculture. These efforts, he said, are designed to encourage reverse migration and stimulate the growth of these remote regions.

The Union Health Minister further informed that under Phase-1 of the programme, 662 border villages have been identified. He highlighted that the Union Health Ministry has endeavoured to establish at least one Ayushman Arogya Mandir for every 1,000–1,500 people in these areas, complemented by mobile medical units to ensure healthcare access for all.

Smt. Punya Salila Srivastava underlined that the Vibrant Villages Programme is a key initiative of the Government of India. She reaffirmed the Union Health Ministry’s commitment to delivering healthcare services to every corner of the country, noting that “58 projects have already been sanctioned under the National Health Mission, and mobile medical units are being deployed in the border villages.”

Shri Rajendra Kumar highlighted that the Vibrant Villages Programme is receiving strong impetus from the Union Government as part of the Viksit Bharat vision. He informed that around ₹3,000 crore has been sanctioned to enhance road infrastructure in these villages. Efforts are also underway to provide 4G connectivity, thereby improving access to healthcare and education. In addition, tourism, skill development, and agriculture are being actively promoted to drive holistic growth in these regions.

Village representatives from five states expressed their gratitude to the Union Government for advancing the development of their villages and for inviting them to Delhi on the occasion of Independence Day. They noted significant improvements in road connectivity and healthcare facilities under the scheme, and urged the Government to extend the initiative to additional villages not covered in Phase-1.
