Sriperumbudur, October 05 â An institution of national importance by the Act of Parliament, Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD ) has organised a workshop on âEmpowerment of Local Government Systemâ during Oct.05-06,2017.
For operational efficiency of Panchayats, the elected representatives should learn to say no to certain demands of the voters and the bureaucracy to say yes for the implementation of the planned schemes and programmes. This will reduce if not remove the gaps between bureaucratic innovators and the politicians, said Prof. M.M. Goel, Director RGNIYD while delivering the inaugural address here today.
He justified the need for empowering the local government system in rural India and explained the issues of good governance of Panchayats including participation, rule of law, transparency, responsiveness, consensus oriented, equity along with inclusiveness effectiveness, efficiency and accountability.
RGNIYD has the mandate for empowerment and involving youth in governance and democracy with no to conflict caused by discrimination, deprivation and discontent in democratic India through NYP 2014, told the Director.
According to Dr. Goel the essentials of good governance are inherent in SMART and SIMPLE models developed by him in the book âEconomics of Human Resource Development in India (2012).
Dr. K Gireesan, Associate Professor, Department of Local Governance and coordinator gave the brief about the workshop and welcomed the participants.
Dr. Inderjeet Singh Sodhi presided over the function and Dr.PH. Kalesh proposed the vote of thanks
