Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini fulfills promise made to the Panchayats

Chandigarh — Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini is actively advancing the decentralization of power in Panchayati Raj Institutions. In line with this commitment, the Chief Minister has fulfilled his promise by allowing Panchayats to carry out works up to Rs 21 lakh at their own level. Now taking a step further, he has now granted Panchayats additional autonomy by approving works up to Rs 21 lakh to be funded from the State Fund as well.

The Development and Panchayat Department has issued a circular outlining the new guidelines for the execution of development works by Panchayati Raj Institutions. This move is expected to strengthen local governments and expedite development projects in villages.

A spokesperson said that the government had already permitted Panchayats to undertake development works estimated up to Rs 21 lakh without a tender process using funds from the Gram Nidhi, Samiti Nidhi, or Zila Parishad Fund. Now with the decision to get additional works done from the State Fund as well, there will be no shortage of funds for development works.
