Jitendra Singh

MoS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NORTHEASTERN REGION, PERSONNEL AND ATOMIC ENERGY

THE CHOPPER AIR MEDICAL SERVICE for cut-off areas in the Northeast is typical of Singh’s vision. Now under Singh’s initiative, which he calls ‘DONER at your doorstep’, a DONER secretaries’ meeting is held every month by turns in a NE state capital. Then at least one central minister visits an NE state capital every fortnight, thanks to Singh’s coordination efforts. Plus, he has introduced use of satellite images for physically verifying the developmental project roads to stop pilferage of grants from Delhi. And Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya are to be connected to the rail network.
