Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced the approval of 13 State-Level Sectoral Councils to bring public feedback into the government’s policy-making process.
In a post on X, Sarma said the councils would offer a platform for experienced individuals to identify gaps in service delivery and communicate their feedback to the government.
The councils will regularly seek public views on government policies and operate under uniform administrative parameters, operational structures and core functions, according to the announcement.
Their membership will include community leaders, domain practitioners and social workers.
Describing the initiative as “Your Govt, Your Voice”, the Chief Minister said it aimed to put people at the centre of decision-making and ensure their views were heard during policy formulation.
