Officials to gauge Modi's farm outreach
Dalip Singh, New Delhi, Apr 14, 2016, DHNS:
In a rare bureaucrat deployment, the Centre will dispatch its officers to 300 districts, including Bengaluru Rural and Hassan in Karnataka, for ten days from April 14 to gauge its farm initiatives.
The feedback would be used to finetune the Centre’s agriculture policy. The Panchayati Raj ministry is anchoring the government programme for officers to visit gram panchayats, which coincides with “Gram Uday se Bharat Uday” village self governance campaign to celebrate B R Ambedkar’s 125th birth anniversary on April 14 and and culminates on Panchayati Raj Day on April 24. The programme is being implemented with the assistance of states and union territories.
The 300 officers of the rank of directors and deputy secretaries drawn from various ministries of home affairs, food processing, health and family welfare, earth sciences, information and broadcasting, will fan out in various districts of 26 states and union territories, including Uttar Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, to interact with village panchayat functionaries and farmers on welfare schemes and rural distress.
Among the districts identified include, Bengaluru Rural, Bengaluru Urban and Hassan in Karnataka, Naxal infested Dantewada and Bastar in Chhattisgarh, Rajauri and Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir and Allahabad, Gaziabad, Gautam Budh Nagar and Lucknow.
