Staff Reporter
Krishnagiri: Sanitation, poverty alleviation schemes and abolition of child labour formed the focus of discussions at the gram sabha meetings held in all the 337 village panchayats in the district on Wednesday to coincide with Independence Day.
Collector Santhosh Babu participated in the meeting held at Belrampalli panchayat in which a large number of self-help groups attended.
Budget ratified
The budget was ratified at the meeting and various resolutions were passed pertaining to the development of the village. Addressing the meeting, the Collector said that villagers should participate in the gram sabha meetings so that they could know about the progress of various development works in the panchayats concerned. They should also actively take part and raise questions about various development works.
The Collector asked the villagers to review the progress of the village action plan of Child Friendly Village Planning on the first Friday of every month. He also stressed on the importance of toilets and personal hygiene.
The Government was providing an incentive of Rs. 1, 200 for construction of toilets. Teachers and elected heads of local bodies should educate the community on personal hygiene, he said.
He exhorted panchayat presidents and SHGs to enrol all out-of-school children in appropriate schools and make the panchayat child labour-free.
Child friendly village president award would be given to panchayats, which enrol all out-of-school children in their area.
The villagers adopted resolutions to eliminate child labour and protect water resources.
They also expressed their readiness to construct individual household toilets, clear plastic waste from water bodies and create awareness among locals on HIV/AIDS. Assistant director, panchayats, Sadasivam, was present.
