In Kathua, the district administration claimed that the participation of villagers remained encouraging where the programme was set in motion, covering 72 panchayats across seven blocks of Kathua.“While the first phase of the programme focused on collecting feedback and assessing needs, the second phase intends to look more closely at the task of empowering, energising and institutionalising the functioning of the PRIs which will also associate panches and sarpanches,” Deputy Commissioner, OP Bhagat, said during a Gram Sabha in Bani.
