Maharashtra Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on Monday visited Gondia and said his five priority areas for the development of the district would be health, education, agriculture, irrigation and the 'gahrkul' yojana (scheme to give houses to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and other groups).

Visiting here for the first time after becoming district guardian minister, the senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader also said the government was contemplating giving bonuses to paddy growers though this may take some time.
