Centre Releases ₹723 Crore to Rajasthan and Jharkhand Panchayats

The central government has given a lot of money, over ₹723 crore, to the local governments in Rajasthan and Jharkhand.

This money is part of the 15th Finance Commission grants for the financial years 2024-25 and 2025-26.

Rajasthan got ₹303.0419 crore for this year and an extra ₹145.24 crore from last year's withheld amount.

Jharkhand received ₹275.1253 crore for last year.

This money helps the local governments, called panchayats, to improve services like sanitation, drinking water, and other local needs.

The government also launched some new tools to make these local governments work better, like using AI to record meetings and digital maps for land.

This helps the local people to be more involved in their governance.
