Ministry of Panchayati Raj Director Divya Prasad, and an Under Secretary from the Union Government I Haokip stayed here for about an hour after their initial schedule and inspected several schemes undertaken under BRGF.
For about a couple of hours, after their arrival here, the Central officials cross examined the files of the schemes and headed for the worksites before lunch.
The Central team was accompanied from Imphal by Y Neta Singh, Director (RD&PR) while the district administrator and the concern Project Officer and other local officials attended to their queries.
Implemented in the district since 2007, the BRGF scheme is said to have encountered innumerable setbacks in its initial stages of implementation and the official visit today is expected to boost the local officials in making the scheme a success in the district, in tune with the now rechristen Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
