The Chhattisgarh government has announced the formation of a panel to oversee the development of villages located near major urban centers, aligning with the objectives of the 16th Finance Commission.
The state government of Chhattisgarh has formed a dedicated panel to guide the development of villages situated close to major cities, as part of the 16th Finance Commission’s recommendations for balanced regional growth.
The panel, chaired by senior bureaucrats, will work closely with local panchayats, municipal authorities and development agencies to identify priority projects and secure funding.
Its mandate includes improving basic infrastructure such as roads, water supply, electricity and digital connectivity, while promoting livelihood opportunities for rural residents.
By focusing on peri‑urban villages, the government aims to curb rural‑to‑urban migration, enhance economic integration and ensure that the benefits of urban expansion reach nearby rural communities.
