The initiative is part of the ‘Prashasan Gaon Ki Aur’ campaign, to empower elected representatives and officials in effective governance. The focus is on grassroots-level reforms to create lasting change.

Tools for Capacity Building

The program employs various technological tools, which include e-learning platforms, AI-powered chatbots, and mobile applications. These resources aim to bridge knowledge gaps and improve service delivery in rural governance.

The initiative commenced in states like Odisha, Assam, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. It aligns with the government’s decentralization efforts. The aim is to promote citizen involvement in decision-making processes.
