Two Gram Panchayats won national e-Governance awards in 2026.
Kadepur, Sangli, Maharashtra.
Bijoy Nagar, West Tripura, Tripura.
Out of 2.6 lakh Panchayats, these two showed what is possible.
Not outliers. Models.
The village can govern itself.

Gram Shakti has begun. And the energy in the room said it all!
Recently, with @ficcifloindore we launched the Gram Shakti!
A 15-Day Capacity Building Training for Women Sarpanchs at Zilla Panchayat Office, Indore.
17 brave women.
From Indore, Depalpur, Mhow
— they came with a purpose!
A few of the incredible participants who joined us include:
🌱 Pooja Neenama — Rajpura Umth, Mhow
🌱 Mamtesh Chouhan — Rangvasa, Indore
🌱 Priya Mangrolе — Budhi Barlaai
🌱 Archana Parmar — Sulakhedi
🌱 Chandrakanta Chouhan — Ajnod
🌱 Lalita Babulal — Vanediya, Depalpur
🌱 Rani Lakhan — Gurjar Kheda, Mhow
🌱 Roshni Banavi — Tillor Buzurg, Indore
Each of them governs a village.
For 15 days, Gram Shakti will help them govern it better.
This is what grassroots empowerment looks like.
Real women, real villages, real change.

India has 1.4M women sarpanches...
Yet 30-40% of Gram Sabhas are RUN by husbands.
33% Lok Sabha reservation post-2029 risks becoming proxy rule at the national scale.
Digital IDs direct fund transfer to elected women
= accountability reservation never built.
Power, not just names.

Aadhaar saved ₹90,000 crore in leakages.
It also locks out 30% of rural users. The elderly. Laborers. Women.
Transparency and surveillance are the same system.
Different oversight makes all the difference.

India mapped 11 crore village properties.
Logged every GPDP.
Built biometric trails for 90 crore rural residents.
Who owns that data?
Citizens on paper.
Government in practice.
Big Tech in the cloud.
Village data is the new soil.
Villagers are still tenants.

29 subjects were promised to Panchayats in 1993.
Most Panchayats have fewer than 5.
Article 243G said "may."
States heard optional.
Kerala: 92/100.
Bihar: 32/100.
One word cost India 30 years of village democracy.

Method changed from Tech first @EasyGov to governance first @GramPanchayatHQ
My vision remains the same
“To make social protection inclusive, adaptive and progressive.”
Inclusive- Free from error of exclusion
Adaptive- family situation centric instead of program centric
Progressive- for families and economies

The issue could be of yours, of public, country, of humanity!
Remember, The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of the good people.
60-80% of GPDPs are copy-pasted.
Assam: 80% uploaded, 1.4% done.
₹3L cr flows into boilerplate PDFs.
AI can fix this: 30-min plans from GIS/surveys, Gram Sabha inputs in local languages.
6.5L ignored villages = national growth problem.

We found a new champion in our Boardroom!
We are proud to welcome Sushil Kumar IAS (Retd.) as Trustee of Empower Panchayat.
Few understand grassroots governance & administration as deeply as he does.
As Joint Secretary, Ministry of Panchayati Raj, he led the e-Panchayat Mission - digitising governance across 2.5 lakh Panchayats in India.
He also chaired the Supreme Court of India-recommended High Level Committee on empowerment of elected women representatives in Panchayats - the very heart of our mission.
His trusteeship strengthens us with:
→ Deep policy & governance expertise
→ Institutional credibility at the highest level
→ A lifelong commitment to women in leadership
Brave women gram pradhans deserve trustees who have walked the corridors of power - and chosen to stand with them.

India built taps in 81% of rural homes, but 25% fail quality tests and 55% of villages have no one maintaining them.
₹3.6L cr risks fading without ownership.
Yet Tripura & Leh prove that local Paani Samitis, collecting ₹20/household, keep schemes running at 90% beyond 5 yrs.

Great missions need great financial stewardship...
We are delighted to welcome CA Tarun Kandhari as Trustee of Empower Panchayat.
With 35 years as a strategic CA, Virtual CFO, and cross-border advisor across India and Dubai, Tarun brings the financial rigour our mission needs to scale with integrity.
As founder of a 16-partner CA firm and a globally recognised advisor, his addition brings:
→ Financial discipline to every programme
→ Transparency and accountability in governance
→ Strategic clarity as we grow our impact
Empowering women at the grassroots is our purpose.
Ensuring every rupee serves that purpose — that is Tarun's commitment.
Empowerment built on financial discipline is empowerment that lasts.

Saharsa trended last week. It is already forgotten!!
The NGO will be questioned.
A report filed.
The structure unchanged.
The Gram Panchayat sits 500 metres from that school with zero authority over what children eat.
The Education Standing Committee and Gram Sabha exist on paper in every village.
Nowhere in practice. These are not execution failures.
They are design failures!

12–15cr Indians migrate yearly, not for ambition, but due to no power, roads, and markets.
₹10–15L cr lost annually.
Panchayats hold the mandate for local economies under the 11th Schedule.
Migration isn’t inevitable.
It’s a policy gap.
#RuralIndia#Panchayat
40% of rent agreements have illegal clauses.
85% of tenants sign without reading.
We teach calculus.
Not contracts.
₹1 lakh crore in small claims goes unfiled every year because nobody taught us Legal 101.

The bias risk is real.
COMPAS in the US showed exactly how encoded prejudice scales.
Which is why every global benchmark from EU to Singapore mandates a human veto.
