24-May; Home Minister Amit Shah said that security of a country’s borders is the priority of the Narendra Modi government and without securing villages, borders cannot be kept safe. Shah said developing Vibrant Villages will add an extra layer to the border security of the country. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has conceptualized the Vibrant Villages Programme with a lot of devotion and in the spirit of the Constitution that every border village should get all facilities. He added that since 2014, the Prime Minister has made efforts to improve border infrastructure, followed by introducing public welfare schemes for border villages. He said the programme is being launched to stop migration from border villages. He stated that the government considers border villages as first villages and not the last villages of the country.
