In Zunheboto, Deputy Commissioner Dharam Raj chaired the district-level orientation meeting on AKA held at the DC’s conference hall, a DIPR report stated. The formal meeting was followed by a training session conducted by graduate teacher Bonoka Sumi, a district level master trainer, who had earlier received training from state level master trainers.
Bonoka shared the vision statement of AKA: “Empowering tribal communities through a decentralized, culturally grounded, and convergence-based cadre of committed change leaders to ensure last-mile delivery and co-create Viksit Bharat @2047.”
The deputy commissioner also held a discussion with the heads of offices on the concept of “convergence,” explaining it as the shifting of resources to another department for the welfare and development of that department.
Raj highlighted the crucial role of civil societies and NGOs, stating that they will act as facilitators for frontline workers at the village and block levels by helping to identify local problems, support community mobilisation, and strengthen grassroots activities.
With their involvement, the district can build stronger partnerships for community-driven development, he added.
It was also emphasised that the AKA is not a government scheme but a grassroots movement aimed at institutionalising responsive governance.
“The training concluded with a note of encouragement, urging all participants to work collectively towards the mission of empowering tribal communities and ensuring inclusive growth in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047,” the report added.
