The Punjab government has taken a significant decision to launch the Ab Gaon Chamkein Gae [Now Villages Will Shine] programme in 2,468 villages across the province, aimed at bringing urban-style facilities to rural areas.
The initiative seeks to improve lives of rural residents by establishing a well-organised system for supply of clean drinking water and providing essential amenities at peoples doorstep, official sources told media.
According to the programme, the hassle of travelling long distances to obtain birth, death, marriage, and divorce registration certificates will be come to an end for residents of these villagers.
Each village will have an efficient chowkidari system in place, and a committee comprising residents will be formed to enhance overall condition of their communities, an official said.
