157 widow pensions, and 40 old-age pensions have been disbursed during
my tenure.
During the past year the gram Sabha was convened four times and the Palli
Sabha twice. I try to involve everyone in the planning process by ensuring
maximum participation of women in the meetings. The Panchayat plans to
take up the provision of piped water supply, digging of wells for irrigation
purposes, provide seeds and fertilizers at concessional rates and enlist more
beneficiaries under BPL, NREgS, IAY etc. in the near future. We hold health
camps, veterinary camps for cattle, supervise the Mid-Day Meal Schemes
and Aanganwadi attendance regularly. Whenever required, we respond
immediately to crises, carrying out relief, rehabilitation, and other disaster
mitigation activities.
