New Delhi, Feb 13 (IANS) Model villages adopted by members of parliament under a special government programme will now get roads constructed on a priority basis, a release said here Friday.
The model village scheme or the Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi Oct 11, 2014.
The village roads would be constructed under another central government scheme, the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), it said.
