Emphasising the importance of human resource development in rural areas and placing it on par with infrastructure development, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has appealed to village panchayats to prioritise skill development among the youth, fostering self-reliance and competence.

The chief minister underlined that the progress of villages cannot take place unless there is strong desire and will power among the panchayat members to develop their village.
The chief minister also commended the Reis Magos panchayat for completing the construction of the Panchayat Ghar within eight months.
