New Delhi, August 18: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that panchayats form the pillars of India’s democratic system.
In his virtual address to a Panchayati Raj function in Daman and Diu, Modi said that zila panchayat members should resolve people’s problems and contribute towards the development of districts and improve the standard of living of people.
“Panchayats are the pillars of our democratic system. You (Zila Panchayat members) should work towards resolving the problems of the common man. You should work and contribute towards raising the standards of living of people in your respective states,” he said, adding that panchayat members should also ensure that students in their area can do well in 10th and 12th examinations and excel in sports.
