Each Gram Panchayat will receive a grant of Rs. 10,000 per year in two instalments to organise festivals such as Madai, Jatra festival, Sarna Puja, Devgudi, Navakhai, Chherchera, Akti, Hareli, etc. The project will be applicable in the entire scheduled area of Chhattisgarh. A village-level governing body and a section-level governing body will implement the scheme. The Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat and members will include village elders, women, a Kotwar, Patel, and the village Panchayat secretary will head the village-level governing body.
In the district-level governing body, the sub-divisional officer, Revenue, will be the president, and the chief executive officer, Janpad Panchayat, will be its member secretary. In the district-level governing body, the president of the district panchayat, the development block education officer, and the tehsildar will be members.
The district-level governing body will be responsible for monitoring and coordinating the implementation of this scheme at the district level.
