There is a small component of Infrastructure Development underwhich assistance is provided to States / UTs for construction of Panchayat Ghars at Gram Panchayat level. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has already proposed higher allocations for capacity building during Twelfth Five Year Plan.Details of the training programmes conducted in Andhra Pradesh under RGSY are at Annexure.
