Each Member of Parliament (M.P.) has a vital role in this transformative initiative, tasked with identifying and developing a suitable Gram Panchayat by amalgamating all central and state schemes. The scheme is able to capitalise on the strength of the panchayats of Kerala, both in the availability of financial resources as well as in the ability to harness local social capital. The years of experience in converging initiatives of multiple departments, riding on the transfer of institutions and  their personnel to local governments have also helped in ensuring integrated and convergent interventions.
