States have been directed to enhance the Capacity Building and Training in Panchayats across the country. In a letter the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has asked the States utilize the funds earmarked for this purpose. The centre has said that the states need to undertake an exercise to identify the content and pedagogy for the training of the elected representatives and official functionaries. In addition, the centre has also directed the states to submit their Sub-Plans for each district while furnishing their Annual Plans by the end of this month in accordance to the recommendations.
