Web portals for Panchayats

Grama panchayats in the State will soon have their own custommade web portals with all the information relating to the panchayats in Malayalam. Akshaya, Kerala Government's e-governance initiative, is all set to implement a pilot project to establish panchayat-level web portals with people's participation in select panchayats in Kannur in North Kerala with financial and technical assistance from UNESCO.

 

The panchayats that will get their very own web portals initially are Pinarayi, Muzhappilangad,EramamKuttoor,Pappinissery,Sreekanturam,Payam,Maloor and Vengad. Besides them, the Thalassery municipality and the Kannur district panchayat will also get their own web portals as part of the pilot project.

 

The Web portals will function from the Akshaya centers in each area. The portal of each panchayat will feature the local history, information about prominent individuals, organizations, institutions and places of special interest in the area, services provided by the local self-governmentt institution, farm information, list of enterprises and the products manufactured by them, employment opportunities available in the locality, information on availability of labour and local programmes. There will be periodic updates and newsletter on new trends in information technology.
