🤝 Participatory Planning
The works under the scheme are planned from the grassroots level, taking into consideration local needs. The Gram Panchayat, in consultation with the Gram Sabha, will identify the required works and determine their priorities.
These works will be included as part of the annual Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan. The plans will subsequently be coordinated at the Block, District and State levels.
