The meeting reviewed internet connectivity in panchayats. Concerns were raised about slow internet speeds. BSNL and JCNAL were told to improve connectivity. They were also asked to fix internet problems in panchayats where it is not working.
Jharanet connectivity was also reviewed. Jharanet representatives were told to look at using Airtel alongside BSNL to improve connectivity. They were also told to make sure Jharanet works in all offices in the new collectorate.
Panchayati Raj officer Pramesh Kushwaha was told to move Pragnya Kendras from the first floor to the ground floor. This is to make them easier for older people and people with disabilities to use.
The meeting approved Jharanet IDs for 33 Pragnya Kendras. This was based on a letter from the Panchayati Raj Department in Ranchi. It was decided that only government email addresses should be used in block and sector offices for security reasons.
