ITANAGAR, Sep 16: The 4-day State Process Lab (SPL) training programme under the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan, by Social Justice, Empowerment & Tribal Affairs (SJETA) was launched in Itanagar with the aim of strengthening grassroots leadership and improving service delivery in the tribal areas in the state here at State Banquet hall, today.
The Aadi Karmayogi Abhiyan is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India. Its objective is to create a cadre of about 2 million change leaders—drawn from tribal communities and allied stakeholders—across over 1 lakh tribal villages in more than 550 districts. These change leaders are expected to promote citizen centric governance, speed up last mile delivery of essential services, strengthen grievance redressal, and foster participatory planning.
