The gram panchayats have definite roles and important duties to discharge said the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. Increasing the participation of people, keeping the cleanliness, maintaining greenery, preparing one year and five-year plans, spending funds with prudence, collecting the taxes without fail, paying the electricity bills on time, managing the street lights properly is to be taken-up by Gram Panchayats” the CM said.
The CM said if people take up the responsibility on mission mode and people’s movement mode, good results can be obtained and there were several examples to show. He said that “If people, public representatives join together then transformation possible. Mahatma Gandhi gave a clarion call on Gram Swaraj during the freedom movement. SK Day was instrumental in giving birth to Panchayat Raj institution for rural development. Bhandarkar taught the people how to do agriculture on uneven lands in the Konkani region. Vanrai Society in Maharastra has voluntarily constructed Vaikunta Dhams in the villages. Gangadevi Pally became an ideal village thanks to Kusam Rajamouli. There are 26 Committees in Gangadevi Pally. Ankapur Village in Nizamabad district stands as an example for the women empowerment as well as the united efforts of people,” the CM explained with examples.
The CM said the state government has become a role model by fulfilling its responsibilities before fixing duties and responsibilities to each and every person for the 30-day Special Action Plan implementation in the villages.
“The government has brought in the New Panchayat Raj Act. All the vacancies in the Panchayat Raj department have been filled on a war footing.
