He highlighted the construction of digital libraries and community centres in every village.
Additionally, the government is focusing on the beautification of ponds, renovating public 'choupals', and constructing gymnasiums and rural stadiums, he said, according to an official statement here.
A comprehensive policy has been formulated to establish community centres with land allocations of one to three acres based on panchayat availability.

The government has identified nine districts that are prone to flooding, causing damage to crops during heavy rainfall and flooding.
The installation of suction bores in these flood-affected areas will prove to be a considerable relief for farmers, he said.
