Continuing her whirlwind tour of the Northeast, Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Smt Raksha Nikhil Khadse arrived in Sribhumi today under the Centre’s Poorvottar Sampark Setu outreach initiative—an ambitious programme launched by. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deepen administrative ties and accelerate development across the region.

During a robust one-day engagement in Sribhumi, Smt Khadse chaired a review meeting with officials from 26 departments. 

The meeting brought into sharp focus the district’s recent strides in agriculture, health, education, fisheries, and welfare schemes. On agriculture, Sribhumi has notched a 103 percent saturation under PM-KISAN and surpassed the 126 percent target for Sali paddy insurance enrolment through PMFBY. 

Food security is equally robust: nearly 97.9 percent of allotted NFSA rice has reached more than one million beneficiaries.

In health, 33,662 expectant mothers registered for antenatal care in 2024–25, with over 94 percent enrolling in their first trimester; departments are now tackling rising hypertension and anemia cases.
