The State Level Workshop on Panchayat Advancement Index 2.0 isn’t just another meeting. It’s a commitment to better governance from the ground up.
The PAI is a performance-based tool that helps us evaluate and strengthen our Panchayati Raj Institutions by measuring their effectiveness in planning, transparency, service delivery, financial management, and citizen participation.
And here’s something we should all be proud of. Arunachal Pradesh is among the very few states in the country to devolve 10% of State Owned Revenue directly to Panchayati Raj Institutions. That’s real empowerment. That’s walking the talk.
I urged our officers, our trainees. Ask questions. Dig deeper. Make the most of this. Because training only works when curiosity leads the way.
And before we closed, handed over the “Panchayat Advancement Index (PAI) 1.0 PURASKAR” Awards to districts, blocks and gram panchayats for their outstanding performance. These are the institutions carrying our democracy forward, from the roots up.
