Stating that this Amrit Sarovar had come into being due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s inspiration, Naqvi said it was the enthusiastic participation and cooperation of the common people, villagers and promptness on the part of Gram Panchayat and District Administration that ensured it got completed in a short time.</p>
<p>
PM had mentioned this particular Amrit Sarovar in his monthly Mann Ki Baat and said: &ldquo;I like to learn that after taking the resolve of Amrit Sarovar, work has started on it at many places at a rapid pace. I have come to know about Gram Panchayat Patwai of Rampur in UP. There was a pond on the land of the Gram Sabha, but it was full of filth and heaps of garbage. With a lot of hard work, with the help of local people, with the help of local school children, that dirty pond has been transformed in the last few weeks. Now, many arrangements have been made on the banks of that lake like retaining wall, boundary wall, food court, fountains and lighting. I congratulate the Patwai Gram Panchayat of Rampur, the people of the village, the children there for this effort.&rdquo;</p>
