Nonation can reach in the category of developed nation unless it empowers people at grass- root/village level. Development of villages depends mainly on Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and their effective functioning, which also includes measures to strengthen the democratic structure of society. Keeping this in mind, Vishwa Yuvak Kendra organized this webinar to discuss the role of Panchyati Raj Institutions amid COVID-19. The objective of the webinar was to orient, train and handhold support to EPRs with especial focus to Women and marginalized communities, to create an interactive platform of flow of information and knowledge sharing, to improve the systematic accountability and bottom-up participation of citizens in the local self-governance.
