The representatives of Panchayati Raj Institution and Autonomous District Council (ADC) would be involved and consulted to identify the number of beneficiaries under various schemes, he added. The mission will be launched simultaneously in different parts of the State. He hopes that the mission would help bridging the gap between people and the government in the region.
