Published on: October 21, 2024 - In a country where the sky often symbolizes hope and dreams, taking to the air has always felt like a luxury for many. But, eight years ago, that started to change with the launch of the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS)-UDAN, or 'Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik', which is all about making air travel accessible for the everyday Indian. To celebrate this milestone and mark 8 incredible years of this scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated new airports in Varanasi during a visit to his home constituency. These airports are part of Rs 6,100 crore worth of development projects, focusing on improving connectivity and infrastructure.
