Grama Panchayat Office Improvement

Pothencode Grama Panchayat
Thiruvananthapuram District




Pothencode Grama Panchayat Office’s old building was a very congested with only 3 rooms in the ground floor for Panchayat President, Secretary and administrative staff and also a conference hall on the first floor. There weren’t any front office facilities and seating arrangements for the beneficiaries. So during peak time, Panchayat officials found difficult to manage the crowd and also to manage their work.
So in 2012-13, Pothencode Grama Panchayat formulated a multiyear project for the expansion of Panchayat Office building and its facilities. The details of the project are as follows:
1.      Front Office construction and adjacent facilities – Rs.536527 (PG Only)
2.      Construction of first floor to Panchayat Office – Rs. 950000 (PG only)
3.      Construction of first floor to Panchayat Office (second stage) – Rs. 950175 (PG only)
The work includes construction/ extension of office building and front office, paved tiles for vehicle parking yard, seating arrangements for beneficiaries, painting works, etc. It is completed in 2014-15 using a total amount of Rs.24,36,702 (PG). Now the standing committee members’ cabins are placed in the extended building. Citizen charter is placed in the waiting hall for beneficiaries.
Now the officials as well as the beneficiaries are happy with the services.
