Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath highlights transparency as the key to rural development during an awareness programme on the VB-G RAM G Act in Mohanpur, aimed at strengthening accountability, governance efficiency, and grassroots welfare delivery.
An important awareness initiative was undertaken in the Mohanpur Assembly constituency on Friday to educate local residents about the VB-G RAM G Act, a newly introduced law aimed at strengthening rural development through transparency, accountability, and effective governance.
The programme was organized with the participation of local elected representatives, government officials, and community members. The event focused on explaining the objectives, benefits, and practical implementation of the VB-G RAM G Act, which is expected to play a transformative role in rural governance. Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath addressed the gathering and highlighted the significance of the legislation in ensuring that development schemes reach the grassroots level without leakages or delays.
Speaking at the programme, the minister described the VB-G RAM G Act as a path-breaking reform that prioritizes transparency as the foundation of rural development. He said the Act has been designed to make governance more people-centric, responsive, and efficient by clearly defining responsibilities and improving monitoring mechanisms at the village level.
According to the minister, lack of transparency often hampers the success of welfare programmes in rural areas. The new law seeks to address this challenge by streamlining administrative processes, reducing irregularities, and strengthening accountability among implementing agencies. He emphasized that when citizens are informed and involved, development becomes faster, more inclusive, and sustainable.
The awareness drive witnessed active participation from local residents, who interacted with officials and sought clarity on how the Act would affect their daily lives. Participants were informed about their rights, the role of village-level institutions, and the mechanisms available to ensure fair implementation of government schemes. Officials explained that the Act would help monitor the delivery of benefits related to infrastructure, livelihoods, and social welfare more effectively.
Organizers of the programme stated that such awareness campaigns are crucial to bridge the gap between policy formulation and public understanding. By directly engaging with citizens, the government aims to ensure that reforms are not limited to official documents but are translated into real improvements on the ground.

The event concluded with a renewed call for community participation, emphasizing that transparency-driven development can only succeed when citizens, representatives, and administrators work together with shared responsibility and trust.
