Workshop for the LG leaders and the farm road
A two-day workshop on ‘Climate Change, Environment and Poverty mainstreaming’ was conducted in the gewog for Local Government (LG) leaders.
The workshop is mainly to aid the LG leaders in the implementation of 11th five year plan, where the three elements like climate change, environment and poverty has to be kept in mind.
Moreover, these elements are said to be correlated and go hand-in-hand while implementing development plans.
Any such plans which impact any of the three will not be included while implementing the five year plan. However certain provisions would be made for such cases if there is a solution or strategy to cover up the impacts.
A two-day workshop was conducted by Department of Local Government (DLG) under Ministry of Home & Cultural Affairs (MoHCA).
Apart from the workshop, Yangneer gewog received a budget of Nu 2mn for the construction of a 1.5 kilometer farm road from Tsanglung to Lungzor which was left out due to budget constraints.
Completion of this farm road will benefit the two chiwogs of Darjayling and Daliphangma.
