District Planning and Development Board (DPDB), Peren, at its monthly meeting held on Monday, resolved to adopt Beisumpuikam as a Model Village. The meeting, chaired by Deputy Commissioner & Vice Chairman DPDB Peren, Hiazu Meru, also constituted committees at both district and sub-divisional levels to ensure targeted interventions and effective implementation.
Welcoming members and special invitees from Beisumpuikam Village Council and Oasis Federation, the DC placed the proposal before the house. He informed that district officials had visited the village and observed it to be progressive and comparatively large, with two government schools accommodating around 300 students each and several positive developmental indicators. Considering these factors, the house unanimously decided to adopt Beisumpuikam as a Model Village, with departments extending necessary interventions wherever feasible.
The meeting also reviewed agendas from the previous DPDB sitting, including adoption of institutions, pilot projects on village adoption, and adoption of hospitals. The status of implementation and progress of these initiatives were discussed briefly.
On the agenda of piggery production, the DC noted that piggery farming in Peren district is on the rise, particularly in the Jalukie Valley extending up to Punglwa village. He stressed the need for a proper plan to streamline the sector and support farmers. After deliberation, the house approved the programme for adoption and constituted a committee to oversee its effective implementation.
Regarding the Cleanest Office Award, the DC informed that monthly social work activities were being conducted in respective offices. He observed that the Home Guards, under the District Commandant Office, had maintained the cleanest surroundings and lauded them on behalf of the DPDB for setting an example. He urged other departments to uphold similar standards of cleanliness. In this connection, the house also decided to constitute a committee to oversee and evaluate cleanliness initiatives across offices.
