Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today held a meeting with officials to discuss the implementation of the 'Mohalla Sabha' project in the national capital city.
Last month, the AAP government had approved formation of 2,972 mohalla sabhas across 70 Assembly constituencies in Delhi for encouraging people's participation in governance at the local level.
"The Deputy CM held a preparatory meeting with officials concerned to discuss the implementation of the Mohalla Sabha project," said a senior government official.
According to the government's plan, development work worth Rs 350 crore under the Citizen Local Area Development (C-LAD) will be decided through these sabhas.
Besides choosing development projects, mohalla sabhas will coordinate with different government agencies for the execution of developmental work, identify and facilitate beneficiaries for different social sector schemes such as old age pension, and address local grievances with the help of local officers.
