The Telangana Grama Jyothi program is aimed at improving service delivery to the people in core sectors by strengthening the Gram Panchayats. The scheme brings together the efforts of various independent departments to achieve functional and financial convergence through the preparation of Gram Panchayat Developmental Plans (GPDPs). It seeks to harness the collective energy of the people by making them active partners in the development process and decision making, while leveraging the social capital at the village level. The program’s goal is to introduce accountability, transparency, and responsiveness in public institutions working at the village level.
The scheme promotes the formation of Functional Committees for sectors such as Water and Sanitation, Nutrition, Education, Security, Poverty Reduction, Resource Management, Agriculture, and Infrastructure.
