Nabarangpur, Jan, 21: Under the chairmanship of District Collector Dr. Maheshwar Swain, a district-level coordination meeting was held at the Ashok Mehta Conference Hall of the Collectorate for the implementation of the Gramodaya Scheme. The meeting focused on the overall development of four Left-Wing Extremism–affected blocks of Nabarangpur district.
The meeting was attended by Chief Development Officer-cum-Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad Biranchi Narayan Darwan, Additional Superintendent of Police Aditya Kumar Sen, and Sub-Collector Prakash Kumar Mishra. Additional Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad Jadumani Nayak conducted the meeting as per the agenda.
Under this scheme, a total of 30 identified villages in four Left-Wing Extremism–affected blocks — Raighar, Jharigaon, Chandahandi, and Dabugaon — will be covered. The objective is to achieve saturation of public welfare schemes, improve the standard of living, develop basic amenities, ensure people’s participation, and focus on deprived beneficiaries. A survey will be conducted by the administration through a nominated committee.
In these 30 villages, 24 government departments will conduct surveys covering various sectors, including drinking water supply, roads and connectivity, fair price shops, residential schools, healthcare services such as immunization and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, sickle cell disease, and anemia, Aadhaar cards, labor cards, Subhadra Scheme, use of certified seeds and agricultural machinery, child and women development, nutrition, old-age pension, widow pension, toilets, ambulance services, and bus services, among others.Through this survey, beneficiaries of different schemes will be identified. In Gram Sabha meetings, proposals will be made for identifying rural beneficiaries under various departmental schemes. If any identified beneficiary does not meet certain eligibility criteria, their case will be forwarded for departmental approval after district administration’s consent.
The District Collector directed that in the identified villages, all 24 district-level departmental officers must expedite the process of holistic rural development and complete the survey work at the earliest.
For this purpose, a block-level committee will be formed in each concerned block, comprising the Block Development Officer (BDO) as chairperson and the block nodal officer. At the district level, the Additional Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Parishad will function as the nodal officer.
All district-level departmental officers, BDOs, and block-level officers were present at the meeting.
