Hishey adopts Tingvong GPU under Adarsh Gaon Yojana

Rajya Sabha MP, Hishey Lachungpa, has adopted Tingvong GPU in North Sikkim under the Sansad Adarsh Gaon Yojana. The MP adopted the GPU at a meeting held with the public and panchayats of the GPU at Kusong village on 20 November.
Mr Lachungpa has announced that a progressive farmer from the GPU will be awarded with cash incentive of Rs. 25,000 every year from the MP fund while he also announced that he will provide one printer to Kusong Primary School. Other development activities planned are avenue plantation, trekking trail to “Saath Dhara”, construction of waiting shed, cane bridge at Tingvong, Bungee Jumping and proper carpeting of the newly constructed approach road to Kusong.
Later, the MP also visited the Rikzing Tarling monastery where he announced for the construction of Mani Lhakang and provision of cooking LPG to the Monastic school.
It may be mentioned here that Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojna on 11 October on the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan. The idea behind the scheme is to create “visible progress” out of the huge funding allocated for the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS), which has an annual fund of more than Rs 4000 crore.
