CHHOTAUDEPUR, 13 JANUARY 2010:
On Januray 8, 2010 Lok Seva Kendra Chhotaudepur organised a one day workshop training for future charismatic leaders of 64 villages. Two good and community based leaders were chosen from each of the 64 villages of the Chhotaudepur taluka and called for a one day seminar on training, esp. in view of the Panchayati Raj and better governance.

The sessions were conducted by the LSK staff themselves with value games and two documentary films. The next step is taking these village leaders to model villages in Gujarat where much has been done in Panchyati Raj and good governance. The stage following this will be to conduct an evening session for their own villages, and getting their own village to plan and execute development activities through the Gram Sabha. We are hopeful that through this endeavor many more village leaders will come forward to lead their village brethren to a brighter tomorrow.
