DIMAPUR — The District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting for Peren district was held at the DC's conference hall, Peren, on Friday.
Addressing the meeting, Lok Sabha MP and DISHA Chairperson for Nagaland, S Supongmeren Jamir said that the objective of the DISHA meeting was to review the implementation of centrally sponsored schemes and developmental activities in the district.
According to an official report, the DISHA chairperson stressed the importance of assessing the achievements made since the previous meeting, identifying challenges encountered during implementation, and collectively finding solutions to improve the delivery of government programmes.
Jamir stated that the meeting provided a platform for officials and members to openly discuss issues without bias, as the intention was not to criticise any department but to ensure the effective and judicious implementation of development projects.
