Mathura: Actress-politician Hema Malini has adopted Raval village in Uttar Pradesh under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Independence Day address.
"People keep chanting Radhe Radhe in the entire Raval but no one has ever thought of developing this village across the Yamuna river. I am determined to restore Raval to its original glory by bringing it on the tourist map. On November 17, I will go to Raval and start the work. The village will symbolise women's empowerment," Hema Malini told IANS.
