Arunachal to constitute task force to monitor Panchayat programmes

Itanagar, Sep 29 (UNI) The Arunachal Pradesh government would soon constitute a task force to advise on and monitor the implementation of various programes under the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in the state.

The committee would comprise the panchayati raj director, officers of the State Institute of Rural Development (SIRD) and the Finance department, besides members from the three-tier PRI, state Panchayat Minister Tako Dabi said during the valedictory function of the three-day training-cum-workshop for elected women representatives of the PRIs here yesterday.

Underscoring the role of women panchayat leaders in transforming the economic and social condition in the state, Mr Dabi stressed on application of traditional knowledge and skill by the women in making homes and securing the welfare of children and family.

Mr Dabi urged the women representatives to help control growing crimes in rural areas and corruption in public life by setting personal examples. He appealed to them to utilise their knowledge and skill for proper implementation of schemes.

Mnister of Social Welfare and Industries Tanga Byaling urged the PR leaders to work selflessly for the efficient implementation of programmes as delegated in the recently released activity mapping document.

He advised them to forget party affiliations and strive towards proper execution of work in all sectors.

Mr Byaling further called upon the authorities to conduct similar trainings for horticulture, agriculture and allied departmental fields for more efficient implementation of schemes.

Meanwhile, the Arunachal Pradesh Rajiv Gandhi Panchayati Raj Sangathan(APRGPRS) and Arunachal Pradesh Panchayati Raj Coordination Committee (APPRCC), in a seven-point joint memorandum to state Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu, urged him for early devolution of finance, functions and functionaries to the PRIs.
