CANACONA: After being adjudged the best panchayat on two occasions, the Loliem-Polem Panchayat is set to add another feather in its cap by planning to introduce e-governance to ease administration processes for its members and residents.
Loliem-Polem Sarpanch Bushan Prabhugaonkar has mooted the idea of setting up a website for the panchayat, where details of the village will be available and members will be able to get their issues resolved online, keeping very little or no scope for the tedious tasks of frequent visits to the panchayat premises.
As a preliminary move, Prabhugaonkar has convened a meeting on October 7, which will be attended by the Directors of Directorate of Planning & Statistics Department and Directorate of Information and Technology and intellectuals from the village and beyond to provide advice and feedback on setting up the website.
According to Prabhugaonkar, the website will contain the entire picture of the village, including geographical (with topographical details), historical, social, cultural specialties, educational development present and historical facts, economical scenario. electoral rolls, ration cards enrolments, besides budgetary provisions/expenses, notices and resolutions will be uploaded on the website.
Prabhugaonkar said the departments of Planning & Statistics and Information and Technology assured their assistance to build the said website.
At a later stage, services of volunteers and NSS cadets will be utilized to gather the ground realities and details by visiting each and every household, to build the website.
“This website will be developed in such a way that besides helping out/easing day-to-day needs of the locals, it will come handy to several villagers who have made their homes outside the village, State and even outside the country,” stated Prabhugaonkar.
Prabhugaonkar has invited intellectuals and experienced citizens/residents to attend the preliminary meeting on Monday evening and give suggestions, feedback to make the proposal a successful one.
Loliem-Polem has been adjudged the best panchayat in the State and in the country twice during the last panchayat term.
