Strengthening Local Governance: Workshop on District Planning Committee Study Tools

GRAAM, Mysuru | October 8, 2025

GRAAM hosted a one-day workshop on “Orientation and Discussion on District Planning Committee (DPC) Study Tools” on October 8, 2025 at our Mysuru office.

The workshop aimed to review and refine the study tools, gather valuable insights from experts, and strengthen our understanding of the functioning of District Planning Committees (DPCs) in Karnataka.

We were privileged to have the participation of distinguished experts whose perspectives enriched the discussion immensely:

Shri. Ashokananda, IAS (Retd.)
Prof. Narayana Shastry (Retd.)
Dr. Ganesh Prasad (Retd.)
Dr. Roopa S, Karnataka Monitoring and Evaluation Authority

The GRAAM team, led by Dr. Basavaraju R Shreshta, Executive Director, along with several team members, actively contributed to the deliberations and next steps throughout the day.

Gratitude to all participants for their thoughtful contributions and for making the workshop insightful and impactful. Together, we continue to strengthen local governance and participatory planning in Karnataka.
