The Ministry of Panchayati Raj is set to hold an Outreach Workshop for the Atmanirbhar Panchayat Programme on June 9 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. This hybrid event will allow eligible Panchayats nearby to attend in person while others will join via video conferencing. The workshop aims to engage Gram and Block Panchayat leaders, presenting the programme's vision, objectives, and operational framework. Key presentations will include a detailed overview of national policy objectives and a live demonstration of the Atmanirbhar Panchayat Portal. The programme encourages Panchayats to submit revenue-generating project ideas, with selected proposals receiving technical assistance and funding through various sources, including Public-Private Partnerships and Corporate Social Responsibility. Eligibility for participation requires Gram Panchayats to have a minimum Own Source Revenue of ₹50 lakh and Block Panchayats ₹1 crore, both with at least three years of tenure remaining. The initiative is implemented under the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan, aiming to foster self-reliant and economically confident local governance.
