Rashtriya Grama Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) - Strengthening Local Governance

The training initiatives touch on areas ranging from basic administrative skills and understanding of panchayati raj acts and rules to e governance, and specific thrust areas like waste management, extreme poverty eradication, climate resilience etc.
