A learning experience for panchayat heads

June 27, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:33 am IST - CHENNAI:

A delegation of ‘gram  sarpanchs’ (panchayat presidents) from Jammu and Kashmir visited the wealth-from-waste generation centre, reverse osmosis plant and packaged water plant and learnt about the functioning of women self-help groups (SHGs) in suburban Mudichur near Tambaram on Friday.

They are in the city as part of their four-day training-cum-exposure visit programme for young elected panchayat representatives from Jammu and Kashmir organised by Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD), Sriperumbudur. The team interacted with SHG members on schemes implemented to improve quality of life in rural areas.
