Empowering Panchayati Raj Institutions: Devolution and Digital Initiatives

The Ministry of Panchayati Raj in India continues efforts to empower local governments through increased devolution and digital integration. A significant boost in responsibilities and financial roles of Panchayats is noted by the rise in devolution from 39.9% to 43.9% over eight years. The introduction of technologies like eGramSwaraj and AuditOnline also aids in enhancing transparency and efficient governance at the grassroots level. Efforts under the revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan scheme aim to further capacitate Panchayati Raj Institutions across the country.
