*Grateful to have participated in the Refresher Training Programme for State-Level Capacity Building Consultants of the School of Excellence in Panchayati Raj (SoEPR), NIRDPR, Hyderabad.
The programme was a valuable learning and reflection platform covering Panchayati Raj Institutions, Gram Sabha strengthening, capacity building, GPDP, climate change, VB-G RAM G, Own Source Revenue (OSR), vulnerability mapping, AI and digital tools, training methodologies, documentation, and innovative practices in grassroots governance.
A special thanks to NIRDPR, SoEPR, and the Ministry of Panchayati Raj for providing this enriching opportunity and to all the distinguished faculty, resource persons, senior officials and colleagues for their valuable insights, guidance and experiences.
The discussions reinforced an important thought: strengthening Panchayats means strengthening grassroots democracy, participation, accountability and local leadership.
I look forward to applying these learnings in the field and contributing towards more effective, inclusive and responsive Panchayati Raj Institutions.
Grateful for the learning. Inspired for the field. Committed to grassroots transformation.
