Seluophe village was adopted as model village by Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio under Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) for implementing various developmental schemes of the government. Seluophe is the second village adopted by Rio, the first one being Longwa village under Mon district which he adopted last year.
Addressing the inaugural function at the newly constructed amphitheatre of Selouphe village, Acharya quoted Prime Minister Modi as saying “India belongs to villages and unless villages are developed, India will not develop.”
With this vision Modi launched SAGY in 2014, he added. While expressing his appreciation to MP Rio for already adopting two villages in Nagaland, under SAGY, the governor felt that if the two MPs and elected MLAs adopt five villages in five years (one village in a year) Nagaland will develop at a fast pace.
