This can only be achieved through implementation of well thought out plans through efficient and responsible utilization of resources available at the disposal of the GPs and by expanding the resources to meet their priorities.MLA Ering acknowledged the dynamic leaderships of visionary CM Pema Khandu and DyCM Chowna Mein who also want planning process from ‘Bottom To Top’ to bring development into reality in the state.

Prioritizing Health, Education and Communication in addition to Drinking Water, Electricity, Agri-Horti, Fisheries etc the MLA urged the GPs to formulate and prepare practical and long term beneficial schemes for rural areas encouraging participatory planning process at the grass root level. They should ideally match people’s needs, basic services and their aspirations, prioritized in accordance with the available resources. Taking privilege, the MLA exhorted the unemployed youth to equip themselves with employable skills by properly utilizing the capacity development programmes being organized by the government with the help of private agencies.
