Uttar Pradesh has won the ‘e-Panchayat Puraskar 2021’, outclassing all the other states of the country.
The Union Ministry of Panchayati Raj announced the results of e-Panchayat Puraskar 2021 on Tuesday under different categories, and Uttar Pradesh was ranked first in Category I, followed by Assam and Chhattisgarh at second place and Odisha and Tamil Nadu at third.
The Union Ministry of Panchayati Raj has been working day and night to improve the functioning of gram panchayats across the country by bringing efficiency, transparency, and accountability through the use of technology.
Hence, every year the ministry awards the states which ensure maximum use of information technology for keeping a tab on the works done by the gram panchayats. This year, the Yogi government has been awarded for flawless and efficient implementation of the e-application developed by the Centre and a few more apps developed by the state government.
This recognition will not only encourage all functionaries and officials of Uttar Pradesh to work harder but will also help in implementing the e-Governance activities for empowering the Panchayati Raj Institutions across the state, officials here on Tuesday said.
