LUCKNOW: In what potentially marks ruling BJP’s yet another concerted bid to fortify its foothold in the rural precincts of UP, the Yogi Adityanath government has managed to wheel in internet connectivity in around 70% of the secretariats constructed in over 58,000 gram panchayats of the state.
The state government is also on the verge of completing the training of panchayat assistants and deploying them in each of these gram panchayat secretariats for delivering online services to the rural masses — a move which could lend a decisive impetus to various ground level operations requisite for smooth governance at the village level.
