*253 Villages in Panchkula District to be Transformed into Model Villages Through Panchayats – Prem Garg**
**Corporate Houses to Adopt Panchayats, Channeling CSR Funds Directly into Rural Development**
**Panchkula, 30th September**:
In a groundbreaking initiative, Aam Aadmi Party leader **Prem Garg** has announced a comprehensive plan to transform all 253 villages across Panchkula’s three tehsils and two sub-tehsils into model villages. This visionary effort aims to place Panchkula not only on the state’s development map but also on the global stage, showcasing modernized and well-developed rural communities.
Under this ambitious project, **corporate houses will adopt local panchayats**, transferring Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds directly to their accounts. These funds will be strategically used to upgrade the infrastructure and facilities in rural areas, thus bridging the gap between urban and rural development.
Prem Garg emphasized the potential of this initiative to elevate rural life, stating, “By granting special status to panchayats and facilitating direct financial assistance from corporations, we will ensure the comprehensive development of Panchkula’s villages. Our goal is to match urban standards, making our villages a model for others to follow.”
**Highlighting the Need for Rural Development**
Referring to the well-publicized incident during the COVID-19 pandemic, where students in the remote Morni area were forced to climb trees to access mobile signals for their studies, Prem Garg reiterated his commitment to ensuring that no area in Panchkula remains underserved. He assured that special attention will be given to such remote areas to improve basic services like education, health, and connectivity.
Drawing inspiration from the **Delhi and Punjab governance models**, Prem Garg outlined the Aam Aadmi Party’s approach to rural upliftment. “With the active support of corporate houses, we will ensure that every village in Panchkula becomes a model village, where residents enjoy easy access to modern amenities, leading to a more prosperous and dignified rural life.”
**Call for Maximum Voter Participation**
Speaking at a public meeting in the villages of **Khadkamangoli** and **Khetpurali** in Panchkula, Prem Garg encouraged voters across Haryana to participate actively in the upcoming elections. He urged the public to aim for a **100% voter turnout on 5th October**, underlining the importance of every vote in shaping a brighter future for their communities.
With this initiative, Prem Garg hopes to set a new standard in rural development, making Panchkula’s villages a beacon of progress and an example for the entire nation.
