PM Narendra Modi's message on Panchayati Raj Day will be streamed live to gram sabhas all over the country.
New Delhi:
The UPA started Panchayati Raj Day celebrations on April 24, 2010 but today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make it a never before kind of an event. He will address a Panchayati Raj Sammelan in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand in which around 3,000 Panchayat representatives from all states of the country will participate.
His message at the event, being held at Jamshedpur's JRD Tata Sports Complex, will be streamed live to gram sabhas all over the country.
Greeting all those working to strengthen Panchayati Raj institutions across India, the PM tweeted this morning:
So far, National Panchayati Raj Day was celebrated in Delhi, but this year, as part of the 'Gram Uday Se Bharat Uday Abhiyan', it is being celebrated in all gram panchayats across the country, except those in poll-bound states.
A new Mandate of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj will be released along with the Devolution Index Report by the Prime Minister today.
The Panchayat Sashaktikaran Puraskar and Rashtriya Gaurav Gram Sabha Puraskar to Best Performing Panchayats and Gram Sabhas will also be awarded. These awards are to be given to 183 Panchayats, which includes 21 District Panchayats, 39 Block or Intermediate Panchayats, and 123 Gram Panchayats.
To celebrate the day, Prabhat Pheris (morning group walks) are being organized in many villages and programmes on sanitation, cultural programmes as well as sports programmes are being observed. Gram Sabhas are also being organized to hold discussions - around 300 central government officers will visit various districts to attend these programmes of under 'Gram Uday Se Bharat Uday Abhiyan'.
The Central Government, in collaboration with state governments and Panchayats, launched the Gram Uday Se Bharat Uday Abhiyan on Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar's 125th birth anniversary on April 14, 2016. It will culminate with the Panchayati Raj Day celebration today. But some States, like Madhya Pradesh, have extended the campaign to 45 days.

Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was the driving force behind the devolution of power to panchayats. Finally in 1993, two years after his death, the 73rd Constitutional Amendment came into force institutionalising Panchayati Raj.Efficient & effective Panchayati Raj Institutions will give an impetus to rural development & play a vital role in #TransformingIndia.
