Panches Head to IIMA to learn Financial Management

Abstract

Starting this month, the first batch of 60 office-holders across zila parishads from Kishtwar to Udayagiri (nearly half of them women) will head to IIM Ahmedabad to be trained in financial management, public private partnerships, planned development, leadership ethics, digital governance and conflict resolution. With most panchayats drawing robust funding from the Centre and states, a new challenge of effective and targeted financial management in the third tier of governance has risen. And, the Centre is looking to IIM Ahmedabad to help out.
