The ‘Panula Jatara – 2025’ organised by the Panchayat Raj and Rural Development department commenced with great enthusiasm across the State on Friday.

Marking the launch of the programme, inauguration ceremonies were held for development programmes successfully completed during last year’s work fair, and foundation stones were laid for new projects. The government has allocated ₹2,198 crore for the second phase of the Panula Jatara (works fair), with over one lakh development projects to be undertaken across the State. The government will construct Gram Panchayat buildings, Anganwadi buildings, cattle sheds, check dams, plastic waste units, community toilets, rural roads, toilets in schools, and other rural infrastructure projects.
