777 Rajasthan Villages to be Transformed Under Development Plan

Under the scheme, Panchayat workers will conduct a door-to-door survey in Scheduled Caste-dominated villages selected under the scheme, as per the instructions of the Government of India. During this survey, information about their social and economic status will be recorded in the prescribed formats.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Anusuchit Jati Abhiudaya Yojana (Prime Minister’s Scheduled Caste Upliftment Scheme), Scheduled Caste-dominated villages will be revitalised. A village development plan will be created for each village. The scheme has selected 777 villages across 30 districts of the state, including five villages in Sirohi district. In this context, Prakash Chandra Agrawal, Chief Executive Officer of the Zila Parishad (District Council), has issued necessary guidelines to the Development Officers of Rewadar, Abu Road, and Sirohi Panchayat Samitis.
