  • Uttarakhand’s Mana village, which was earlier known as the last Indian village, will now be known as the ‘first Indian village’. 
  • Mana, a village located at the Indo-China border in Uttarakhand's Chamoli.
  • The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) on Monday placed a signboard at the threshold of the border village proclaiming Mana's revamped status.
  • This comes months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in October last year, visited Mana and showed support for Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami’s remark that it was the first village of the country and every border village should be the first village.
  • Chief Minister Dhami said under the leadership of PM Modi, the border areas of the country were becoming more vibrant. "For this, the Vibrant Village programme has been initiated.
  • The 'Vibrant Village' scheme, which found mention in Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's Budget speech in Parliament, aims to develop the villages in 46 border blocks across 19 districts, 4 states and one Union Territory -- Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Ladakh (UT) -- on the northern border.
