Ministry of Rural Development

The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) has embarked upon DISHA Project, which seeks to promote participative governance and deliberative democracy. DISHA seeks to achieve recently formed District Vigilance and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) replacing the old District Development Co-Ordination and Monitoring Committee for better co-ordination among all the levels of elected representatives in Parliament, State Legislatures and Local Governments (Panchayati Raj Institutions) to have a more coordinated, efficient and time bound development. The recently formed DISHA is broad and covers many Ministries; it has been felt that a team of technical resources, call centre executives, and IT System/Infrastructure along with implementation team will be required for giving concrete shape to the concept of DISHA.
