Sangeetha and Kani are going to talk about Gram Sabha. Kani: Hello Sangeetha. How are you? Sangeetha: I am good Kani. How are you? Kani: I am also doing good. Hope you remember May 1st. Its Gram Sabha. Sangeetha: yea Kani. I do remember. K: Do you know other than women which Govt officials should participate? S: Yes Kani. Panchayath head should participate, Village administration officer should participate, and any Govt officer should participate. K Yes, you are right. but above this in a gram sabha meeting officers related to 29 departments. But in reality, no one is participating. Do you know about it? S: Oh is it??!! I knew that officers from Govt departments will attend but never knew that officers from 29 departments should participate. Kani, because i participated in this Gram sabha i know the decisions taken but how to know whether they are fulfilled or not and do you know whether in any other village the decisions are implemented or not. K: Oh come on. Dont you know that?? During last gram sabha meeting, it was decided that we dont want 8 lane road in Salem. They the decision was made to cancel 8 lane road work. See this is a real success. So dear friends, we came to know how much the gram sabha is powerful.
