Praja Seva Abhiyana meeting held in Shikaripur
The Shivamogga district administration held a 'Praja Seva Abhiyana' meeting in Shikaripur to address public grievances directly. Minister Madhu Bangarappa emphasized the government's commitment to resolving citizen issues locally to save time and money.
Why it matters
This initiative represents an effort to decentralize governance and improve public service delivery in rural districts.
Shivamogga district administration, on Tuesday, conducted a district-level Praja Seva Abhiyana meeting at Shikaripur. In the presence of School Education and Literacy Minister and Shivamogga district in-charge Madhu Bangarappa, the officers received applications from the public and assured them of resolving them at the earliest.
Mr. Bangarappa, speaking after inaugurating meeting said that it was distressing that people were forced to move from office to office, and from rural areas to the State capital, Bengaluru, to get their problems resolved, resulting in a loss of money and time for them. The Praja Seva system had been introduced to prevent this, he said.
Describing the Praja Seva Abhiyana as a programme born out of Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar’s special interest, Mr. Bangarappa said Ministers, MLAs, and district- and taluk-level officers would respond promptly to public grievances under the initiative.
