The Panchayati Raj

Failure of PRI to bring about SWARAJ

This is a common affliction for all districts of Orissa, but what makes it a tragic failure in our district is the divisive politics down to the village level, practiced by all political groups in the name of ‘All round Development’. In Palli Sabhas, health and education is never discussed, women voters are rarely invited, agriculture, animal husbandry, environment, portable water, and such other topics are rarely discussed. Members fight over the small funds that are routinely passed on by Block office for approach roads, culverts or, drains.

We will request all our people’s representatives to mobilize all their cadres to bury their hatchets for the common good of the village. Let them assess their own development needs and make very long list of their demands irrespective of the fund availability.
On this subject we would form our opinion after listening our friends from blocks and Panchayats
