Minister for forest, environment, ecology, wildlife and excise M.C. Konyak lamented that corruption begins at the grass root level by village developmental board (VDB) because VDB schemes are not implemented judiciously.
Asserting that VDB was a big agency where various developmental schemes are planned and implemented for the development of the village, Konyak called upon the people to adopt work culture and implement the schemes with sincerity for development of the people at the grass root level.
Addressing the inaugural function of new RD Block at Aboi on February 25, Konyak appealed to the RD department to create awareness among village functionaries about guidelines of various VDB schemes and suggested the presence of block development officers (BDOs) during the annual plan meeting of VDBs in the village.
He said with the creation of 22 RD blocks in the state, the burden of BDOs covering many villages have been minimized and expected good performance from the department.
He also called upon the people to change their mindset and strive hard to catch up with the fast changing world.
He said unless people changed their mindset and attitude, developmental programme of the government would become a failure and would have no impact in the society.
Minister for School Education & SCERT, Nyeiwang Konyak, advisor DUDA, E.E. Pangteang, additional director RD Waichiba, President NPF Women wing Nagaland Toilih, project director Honji Konyak and chairman Langmeang village council Longkap also spoke at the programme.
Meanwhile, Minister for school education & SCERT, Nyeiwang Konyak inaugurated the new RD Block at Angjangyang on February 24.
Angjangyang RD block would cover 10 villages, bifurcating 6 villages from Tobu Block and 4 villages from Chen Block.
In his inaugural speech, Nyeiwang Konyak challenged the VDB to cultivate a competing spirit in the field of development and march ahead with peace and unity.
Stating there were various flagship programmes under the department of RD and VDB which empower the grass root level to plan and implement these schemes properly, he said it was the responsibility of the VDB to utilize it judiciously in true spirit for the development of the people.
Informing the DAN government under the leadership of the chief minister was busy inaugurating various schemes and projects in the state, he said the inauguration of new RD block at Angjangyang was a sign that the government was delivering development to the people at their doorsteps and urged the people to support DAN government.
He was optimistic that with the inauguration of the new RD block, the people of Angjangyang would benefit and have an opportunity to address the grievance of the people to the government.
