The ‘Palleku Podam’ initiative highlights an active effort by local governance to engage directly with communities in addressing grassroots challenges.The sanctions given by the Kurnool Collector reflect a priority on infrastructure development-such as roads, school buildings, and sanitation-that are essential for improving rural living standards. The specific focus on healthcare quality and hygiene in educational institutions signals recognition of critical areas that impact long-term community well-being.
