Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated February 11, 1960: Community development

Mr. S.K. Dey, Minister of Community Development and Co-operation, said in the Lok Sabha on February 10 that government had decided to stick to the original target of bringing the whole country under the community Development programme by 1963. Mr. Dey said that the U.N. Mission had made the suggestion for staggering the programme in India on the ground that the technical and administrative staff for implementing the programme was not adequate. The staff position has now improved and the Government were trying to make up for the loss of momentum by introducing such schemes such as ‘panchayati raj’ to maintain popular interest.
