He urged all implementing agencies to work proactively for the successful implementation of the Mission across the district.
Mission Director underscored the need for coordinated, results‑oriented efforts by all stakeholders to achieve the desired outcomes within the stipulated timeframe. He directed concerned officers to intensify outreach and implementation efforts in border areas, including the Vibrant Villages, to facilitate youth entrepreneurship and create sustainable livelihood opportunities.
