Churachandpur, October 2: The District Administration of Churachandpur inaugurated two Adi Seva Kendras today, one at M. Songgel village under Tuibong block and another at Elim Veng under Lamka South block, to strengthen the implementation of the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan in the district.
These single-window citizen service centres aim to streamline access to welfare schemes and public services for tribal communities. As part of the launch, Special Gram Sabhas were held in both villages, during which the Tribal Village Vision 2030 Declaration was formally adopted. This declaration outlines a long-term roadmap for inclusive development, emphasizing participatory governance and community-led planning.

Participants also unanimously endorsed the Village Action Plan (VAP), prepared by village councils, Block Mission Teams, Adi Sathis, Adi Sahyogis, and other stakeholders. The VAP highlights key areas such as Housing for All, Electricity, Water, and Sanitation, with an implementation timeline from 2025 to 2030.
Under the Adi Sewa Samay initiative, residents will offer voluntary service at the Adi Seva Kendras every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The centers will serve as facilitation hubs where residents can apply for, track, and avail benefits under various government programmes, many of which have historically not reached the grassroots level.
A senior official stated, “The centers will particularly benefit households that have remained outside the ambit of welfare measures despite being eligible,” adding that the initiative is expected to drive social and economic upliftment across the tribal belts of Churachandpur.
