Centre Releases Rs 223 Crore to Boost Rural Local Bodies in Assam

The central government has sent over 223 crore rupees to help local governments in rural areas of Assam.

This money is given in two parts.

One part is called 'untied grants,' which the local governments can use for anything the community needs, except for paying salaries.

The other part is for specific important tasks, like making sure toilets work well, managing trash, and providing clean drinking water.

This helps the local governments take care of their villages and towns better.

The government is also working on digital tools to make these local governments work more efficiently and transparently.
