Amader Para Amader Samadhan: The state government is once again bringing administrative services to the people’s doorstep. Following the success of ‘Duare Sarkar’ (Government at your Doorstep), the ‘Amader Para, Amader Samadhan’ (Our Neighborhood, Our Solution) program will now address citizens’ problems at the booth level. The main goal of this initiative is to ensure a quick and effective resolution for the minor issues faced by citizens. This program will run from August 2nd to November 3rd.
What is “Amader Para, Amader Samadhan”?
“Amader Para, Amader Samadhan” is a unique initiative by the state government through which administrative camps will be organized to directly listen to people’s problems and solve them. Under this program, there is a plan to set up approximately 27,000 camps across the state. One center will be opened for every three booths, where ordinary people can directly report their local issues. The entire process will be conducted online to ensure transparency.
