The participants of different line departments were involved in integrated departmental planning and convergence activities. All four days of the lab process actively engaged the participants with capacity building and participatory activities, which helped them to roll out of the whole process of the DAJGUA program on village level smoothly in blocks and Gram Panchayat Level.

The initiative promotes citizen-centric governance by institutionalising grievance redressal mechanisms, encouraging localised planning, and fostering collaborative implementation, a release by the department said.
