The Ministry of Panchayati Raj is set to host a National Colloquium on "Governance at the Grassroots after Three Decades of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment" on April 24, 2024, at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, in honor of National Panchayati Raj Day.
The event will be inaugurated by Secretary Vivek Bharadwaj and Secretary Shailesh Kumar Singh, alongside other esteemed officials.
Bringing together a diverse array of stakeholders, including officials from Central and State Governments, NIRD&PR, SIRD&PR faculty members, academicians, subject matter experts, UN Agencies, and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the Colloquium aims to foster dialogue and collaboration.
Discussions will center on the transformative role of digital technology in public service delivery, initiatives for Panchayat Governance transformation, and the convergence of digital governance initiatives.
The event provides a platform to assess achievements, address challenges, and explore opportunities for enhancing grassroots governance through Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs).
Topics will delve into the evolution of Good Governance principles in rural areas and strategies for reinforcing PRIs as vehicles for effective public service delivery.
At the core of the Ministry's mission is digital empowerment, aimed at realizing the vision of Smart Panchayats.
Ongoing training programs ensure the effective implementation of digital strategies, while partnerships with States/UTs engage citizens in governance processes.
The Ministry's digital initiatives play a pivotal role in strengthening self-reliance, sustainable livelihoods, inclusive development, and advancing Localization of Sustainable Development Goals (LSDGs) across Gram Panchayats nationwide.
This year's National Panchayati Raj Day holds special significance, marking three decades since the enactment of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act and two decades since the establishment of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj.
