The Bihar government has announced that Panchayat ward members to get Rs 2 lakh funds to improve village development. The government shared this update in the Legislative Council. Leaders confirmed that Panchayat ward members to get Rs 2 lakh funds after the Centre approves the proposal.
The state will soon send the proposal to the Central government. Officials say this step will give ward members more control over small projects.
Ward members have demanded financial powers for years. Right now, village heads manage most of the funds. This often limits the role of ward members.
The new plan aims to fix that gap. Ward members will use the money for small works. These may include road repairs, drainage cleaning, and other local needs.
Leaders believe this move will strengthen local democracy and improve village services.
