Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao has exhorted district level officials of the department to ensure effective coordination and planning in taking up works under the upcoming fifth phase of Palle Pragati, the flagship programme for all round development of rural areas.
The Minister reviewed sanitation, maintenance of dumping yards, manufacture of fertilizers, maintenance of Vaikunta dhamams and water and power supply in villages with senior officials on Wednesday. He wanted the district level officials to conduct inspection of the ongoing works from time to time and guide staff at the lower levels on the regular upkeep of the infrastructure created at the village level.
Panchayat secretaries should attend their duties regularly and should be available in the respective villages by 6 a.m. on a daily basis. District level officials should conduct field visits on a regular basis and take steps to ensure participation of people as well as elected representatives in the programmes taken up under the Palle Pragati programme.
