The people who had to move can now venture out to the border villages and witness the splendour of the villages of India," he said.According to the minister, the government's schemes must also reach the most remote villages in the border regions to ensure that border communities are lively."You can see how this links to national security or the growth of these villages. There are many views. However, these villages will develop and are also significant in terms of security."We have taken various measures to ensure the security of India. In the past, India was a supplier of military equipment; today, it exports as part of Make in India in the defence industry," Thakur said.In order to ensure that India is safe, we are taking measures to ensure its strength.
