Mathura, September 2, 2015: The ‘Braj Planning and Development Board’ has formally begun functioning from Monday. The newly appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the board Shri Ravindra Datt Paliwal chaired a meeting in which he briefed the structure of the board, the act under which the board was formed, and it’s functioning to the officials from various departments.
The Chief Minister Shri Akhilesh Yadav is the Chairman of the board, which will be working for the preservation of the heritage, culture and environment of Vraja. Shri Paliwal said that the newly formed board will not replace any government department, but will ensure the proper coordination between the various departments to give a boost to the religious tourism and bring similarity while executing the projects.
Since the ‘board’ was formed by getting an act passed from both the houses of the state assembly, it will play a unique role in the development of Vraja. It will become very easy for the government departments to send the developmental proposal to the government through the board, as the board consists of the members from all the departments. Though the plans will be approved by the government, but the feedback about the plans will be taken from the board. The board will take advice from the local people also.
Shri Paliwal insisted that the development plan should be made in such a way that it sustains for next thirty years. The plan and the budget required for it should be sent to the MVDA.
Shri Paliwal inaugurated the board’s office at the MVDA building and took necessary information from the MVDA secretary. The board will accept funds from the corporate houses too. Anyone who can donate minimum Fifty million rupees can become the member of the board.
