GANGTOK, 08 Dec: The daylong series of orientation workshops on “Mobilisation of Gram Sabha through the Intervention of School Students” being conducted by the State Institute of Rural Development (SIRD) commenced on 07 December.
The workshops will be conducted for students of Class VIII and above of all the Junior High, Secondary and Senior Secondary Schools of the State. Three workshops were held concurrently, one each at Sadam Senior Secondary School, Okhrey Secondary School and at the SIRD campus at Karfectar for Nayabazar Junior High School.
All schools which cannot be covered before the winter vacations begin [on 12 December, 2013], will be covered within the first month of the next academic year, an SIRD press release informs.
Resource persons for these workshops are the faculty members of SIRD and Field Facilitators of SIRD posted at various Gram Vikas Kendras.
The basic objective of the workshop is to sensitise students on the importance of Gram Sabhas in the Panchayati Raj System and the role of the Sabha members in facilitating sustainable and inclusive development in the rural areas through participatory local self-governance, the release explains.
The students were “mobilised” to get their parents to attend future Gram Sabhas in their respective villages.
