New Initiatives :~

In 2014-15 MoRD has introduced the concept of IPPE (Intensive Participatory Planning Exercise) for the most backward blocks in the country. For Coochbehar district five block viz. Mathabhanga-I, Sitalkuchi, Sitai, Mekhliganj & Haldibari have been selected for IPPE. The planning process for formulation of Labour Budget of 2015-16 has been completed and same has been uploaded in the website.

MoRD has also introduced the system of e-FMS (Electronic Fund Management System) whereby the wage payments of workers are credited directly in to their accounts from the central server. This reduces the delay in payments as well as cuts out the middleman.
