Empowering Panchayati Raj for Rural Transformation

A webinar hosted by the Panchayati Raj Ministry focuses on enhancing grassroots governance through panchayats. It highlights the essential role of local self-government in delivering services like water, sanitation, and healthcare efficiently to rural areas, aiming for socio-economic growth.

The Panchayati Raj Ministry is set to host a webinar on Monday aimed at prioritising citizen-centric governance. The focus will be on boosting the delivery of essential services at the grassroots level through the active role of panchayats, the third tier of local self-government.

Panchayati Raj Institutions are crucial in rural governance, tasked with ensuring government schemes and services such as water supply, sanitation, healthcare, and digital literacy reach every rural corner. These efforts are vital for socio-economic growth and enhancing the quality of life in rural areas.

The seminar will gather government officials from across the nation, including chief and IT secretaries, to discuss innovative service delivery models. Participants will explore strategies to future-proof governance, ensuring it remains citizen-focused and efficient.
