On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hold a video conference with hundreds of sarpanches from across the country to mark the celebration of Panchayati Raj Diwas. Calling panchayats as vital links of development and democracy, Prime Minister launched a slew of important schemes including unified e-GramSwaraj portal and mobile application and Swamitva Scheme. While e-GramSwaraj would help prepare and implement Gram Panchayat Development Plans, e-portal is a major step towards digitisation of Gram Panchayats. In applauding the sarpanches for their critical roles in ensuring social distancing and providing vital information related to COVID-19 on daily basis, the Prime Minister further exhorted them to make each panchayat “self-sufficient enough to provide for its basic needs.”

With panchayats emerging as front warriors in the collective fight against COVID-19 pandemic, Prime Minister’s address to key members of rural self-government institutions cannot be overemphasised. As has been reported, panchayats across the country have been playing extremely critical roles in containing coronavirus spread. One of the most talked about example is Kerala. With its long history of decentralisation and both primary and secondary healthcare having placed under the purview of the third-tier institutions, panchayats in Kerala are on the forefront of coordinating government in tracing, organising health checkup camps, sanitation, social distancing messages among others. This apart, panchayats have been playing lead role in sustaining agricultural activities by ensuring the labour supply and availability of critical food supply chains in villages
