The Parishad has established a large campus spread over 7.5 acres
of land in the heart of fresh rate colony known as Mayur Vihar Phase- 1,
Delhi. It has a permanent office building and residential house for the
officers and the employees. Also there is a guest house with sufficient
facilities where the elected representatives may stay during their visits to
Delhi.
The AIPP has also a rich library on the campus and is aiming at
making it a special library on Panchayat Raj in India.
At present, the AIPP is functioning under the able and dynamic
leadership of Shri Subodh Kant Sahay, President of AIPP.
He has injected a new life to the AIPP. His Slogan is : AIPP = struggle
for achieving the rights of PRIs from the state government as enshrined
in the 73” Constitutional Amendment 1993. His today’s priority is to
strengthening the AIPP and the State Panchayat Parishad. His
leadership has brought continuity and stability to AIPP. He is being
assisted by an executive committee consisting of the 31 members.
The AIPP will make an effort to establish an information window of its
own office and the offices of State Panchayat Parishad so that the
people may know about programmes related to rural development.
Organizations of the state and districts levels have to be made more
active. Regular publication of Panchayat Sandesh, the monthly journal
of AIPP in English and Hindi is to be managed and the target is that each
elected member PRIs receives a copy of it’s regularly. A seminar on
Decentralization is in pipeline. Also the AIPP has to be made
economically viable.
Last but not of least importance is the agenda for establishing
training center for the officers, elected representatives of PRIs and
NGOs interested in gaining knowledge related to Panchayati Raj in
India.
