MUMBAI: To ensure effective implementation of development programs at the village, taluka, and district levels, the Maharashtra Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Wednesday approved the launch of Zilla Karmayogi Program 2.0 and the Sarpanch Samvad Program.
Both initiatives will be executed through the MITRA institution. Training will be provided to approximately 85, 000 officers and staff, ranging from ground-level workers to district-level officials (including Agriculture Officers, Gram Sevaks, Talathis, Engineers, and Health Workers).
This aims to enhance skills to boost district GDP by supporting MSMEs and Farmer-Producer Organisations (FPOs). It aims to improve Government-to-Business (G2B) services and strengthen inter-departmental coordination.
The training for 20, 000 Sarpanches will be provided via a tripartite agreement between the Quality Council of India (QCI), MITRA, and the VSTF Foundation, said the government release.
