PM Modi lays foundation stone for Ken-Betwa River Link Project

Speaking at the program in Khajuraho, Prime Minister Modi also said that in the 21st century, only nations with adequate and well-managed water resources can progress.
The Prime Minister's comments come amid controversy over Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on Ambedkar and the opposition Congress' nationwide protests on the issue.
Ambedkar's vision and foresight contributed significantly to strengthening the country's water resources, their management and construction of dams, Modi said.
Ambedkar played a crucial role in developing major river valley projects and forming the Central Water Commission, he added.
However, the Congress party never paid attention to the country's growing need for water conservation, and never recognized Ambedkar's efforts as a water advocate, he said. he declared.
“The major challenge of the 21st century is water security. In the 21st century, only countries with adequate and well-managed water resources will progress,” he said.

Congress and governance do not go hand in hand, he said, adding that previous Congress governments delayed projects for 35-40 years after laying the foundation stones.

The Ken-Betwa river link will open new doors of prosperity and happiness in the Bundelkhand region, the Prime Minister said.
Nearly 44 lakh people in ten districts of Madhya Pradesh and 21 lakh in Uttar Pradesh will get drinking water under the project, estimated to cost `44,605 crore.
Nearly 7.18 lakh farm families spread across 2,000 villages will benefit from the project, which will also generate 103 MW of hydropower and 27 MW of solar power, officials said.
Modi also issued a commemorative stamp and coin in memory of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, on his birth centenary.
The Vajpayee government had proposed river linking as a solution to meet the country's irrigation needs as well as to deal with floods.
