A seven-day long Grameen Mela organised
by the Mirik Development Office today started at the Reception Centre
here. Participants included the block agricultural department, block
health department and block land reformation department, among several
others.
The fair was inaugurated by GTA sabhasad
Phubi Rai where the various departments passed on vital information to
the visitors. The departments have set up stalls where one can gather
information on agriculture, MGNREGA, health, land and other issues.
Rai said initiatives such as these will help people of rural areas as they will be able to clarify doubts on a number of issues.
