Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, January 29, 2025,  Hooghly: Review meetings are being conducted across Hooghly district on a block-by-block basis to assess the impact of government initiatives on the local population. District Magistrate Mukta Arya, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Block Development Officers (BDOs), and public representatives are actively participating in these meetings, which involve visiting the homes of beneficiaries and holding neighborhood discussions. The primary aim is to evaluate how effectively common people are benefiting from various government projects.

On Tuesday, officials visited Dhaniakhali to conduct their inquiries. They visited a school in Manikpur, where they engaged with students and assessed the progress of education. The team, led by District Magistrate Mukta Arya, Hooghly Zilla Parishad President Ranjan Dhara, and Dhaniakhali MLA Asima Patra, took part in interactive teaching sessions. They taught a physics lesson by writing on the board, engaging directly with the students. During their visit, they also took time to sit with students and understand their readings, aiming to gauge the quality of education being delivered.

After the visit, Ranjan Dhara expressed satisfaction with the progress in the school, stating, "We visited a school in Manikpur, where we saw several talented children. They answered our questions confidently, and the board demonstrated that many bright students are emerging from government schools as well. This was evident during our visit to the school in Dhaniakhali."

The ongoing review meetings are part of the district’s efforts to ensure transparency and assess the ground-level impact of government schemes. Officials are committed to monitoring the progress of these initiatives to ensure they reach and benefit the communities they aim to serve.
