Rajiv Kumar, a panchayat leader from India, shared, 'The partnership with SHIKSHAM FOUNDATION has enabled us to plan and implement development programs more effectively.' Anita Devi, a community leader from Maharashtra, added, 'The program has increased transparency and accountability in panchayat functioning.'
