Assam Minister of Panchayat and Rural Development (PnRD), Ranjeet Kumar Dass, on Monday visited Barpeta to review the implementation and progress of various developmental schemes in the district.

Dass discussed the distribution of new ration cards under the Chief Minister’s new scheme with BDOs and EOs from the district. During his visit, Dass also inquired about the progress of multiple schemes.

Discussions included the quality of rice and other essential materials being distributed, as well as targets set for these programs and whether they are being effectively met.

District Commissioner Rohan Kumar Jha, CEO Zilla Parishad Aroop Pathak, Additional District Commissioner Kaustav Kalita and a host of other key officials partook in the discussions.

The minister discussed strategies for bridging gaps in implementation and ensuring targets are consistently achieved with Jha. The review covered several key initiatives under the PnRD, including the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.

Dass expressed his commitment to follow up on these developmental efforts and vowed to revisit Barpeta to monitor the district’s progress in October. Dass emphasized the importance of equitable access to benefits for residents across both urban and rural areas.
