Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha will interact with the DDCs, BDCs and Panchayat Representatives once every month. The move is aimed at taking good governance to the grass-roots level and strengthen the participatory democracy.
This initiative of the government will lay a platform for the elected representatives for voice the aspirations of the people and area-specific needs for ensuring equitable development for all.
Jammu & Kashmir Government is making all-out efforts to make Panchayati Raj more vibrant institutions in the Union Territory in true sense. Taking feedback from the PRIs on the functioning of the administration, execution of the works on-ground besides getting the first-hand information about their concerning issues are some of the key aspects of this monthly interaction.
Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Department will formulate a mechanism for holding interaction of the Lieutenant Governor with all the three-tiers of Panchayati Raj Institutions including DDCs, once every month.
Mr Sinha has directed the Deputy Commissioners and the concerned officers to ensure that PRI representatives are integral part of every government function, accorded due protocol and involved at every stage of planning and implementation of the developmental projects.
The ‘LG Mulaqaat’ will undoubtedly become a platform to voice the developmental aspirations and a strong mechanism to address area-specific needs of the people.
