To give a boost to the development works in the state’s villages besides making the people at the grass-root level an active partner in the government’s decision-making, Punjab Government will organize the ‘Pind-Sarkar Milnis’ (village-government meetings), on the lines of ‘Kisan-Sarkar Milni’ programme.
Announcing this, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday said that these milnis will be organized at district headquarters in Majha, Malwa, and Doaba regions of the State.
“In these milnis, the panchayats will apprise the officers about the development works to be started in their villages,” said Mann while asking the Rural Development and Panchayats Department to make elaborate arrangements for making this event a huge success.
The Chief Minister said that these milnis will be organized twice a week in the Malwa region of the State, and once in a week in Doaba and Majha regions. “This will help in resolution of pity issues of the villages that are pending at the level of the officers and have been hitherto not resolved. The Government will also solicit views of the panchayats that have taken path breaking initiatives to develop their villages on scientific lines,” he said.
Envisioning that like ‘Kisan-Sarkar milni’ this scheme will go a long way in transforming the villages of the state into development hubs, Mann said that ‘Kisan-Sarkar Milni’ had already proved useful for resolving the issues faced by the state’s farmers. Village-Sarkaar Milni will go a long way in further ensuring holistic development of the villages, he added.
