Koraput: Tribal-dominated Koraput district was awarded the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration 2024 under the category of ‘holistic development of districts’ on Monday. The award was presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to collector-cum-district magistrate Keerthi Vasan V during a function in New Delhi, coinciding with Civil Services Day.
The award recognises the districts outstanding performance in implementing social welfare and development schemes aimed at last-mile delivery. “This recognition is the result of several innovative steps taken to ensure that social security schemes reach the last mile,” the collector told TOI.
According to the collector, effective implementation of initiatives such as Har Ghar Jal Yojana, PM Awas Yojana (Urban and Rural), Mission Indradhanush, PM-Jan Arogya Yojana, PM Ujjwala Yojana, PM SVANidhi, PM Matru Vandana Yojana, PM Vishwakarma Yojana, PM Poshan Yojana and the Kisan Credit Card scheme, among others, contributed to the recognition.
The collector noted that PM Matru Vandana Yojana has been instrumental in promoting institutional deliveries. “We are effectively running Maa Gruha centres (maternity waiting homes) where pregnant women are shifted 15 days before their expected date of delivery, ensuring their complete care for safe institutional births,” he said.
Additionally, under PM Poshan Yojana, millet-based food items are being provided in schools and govt-run residential institutes catering to SC and ST students.
Calling the achievement a result of collective effort, he said, “It was a team effort involving all members of the district administration. The award is a great motivation for us to continue addressing the challenges faced by our people.”
The award includes a trophy, a scroll, and an incentive of Rs 20 lakh, which will be utilised to further strengthen welfare programmes or fill resource gaps in public service delivery.
