Punjab Govt to hold Pind-Sarkar Milnis for villages holistic development

To give a boost to the development works in the states villages besides making the people at the grass-root level an active partner in the governments 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 thesemilniswill be organized at district headquarters in Majha, Malwa, and Doaba regions of the State.

In thesemilnis, 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 thesemilniswill 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 states farmers. Village-Sarkaar Milni will go a long way in further ensuring holistic development of the villages, he added.
