Bihar’s identity is no longer limited to its history, culture and heritage.

Several villages across the state are emerging as new examples of good governance, digital transformation and effective local leadership.

Dawa Panchayat, located in the Jagdishpur block of Bhojpur district, is one such inspiring example.

With a population of around 14,000, the panchayat has undertaken remarkable work in e-governance, sanitation, education, healthcare and women’s empowerment.

In recognition of these efforts, it received the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Panchayat Sashaktikaran Puraskar from the Union Ministry of Panchayati Raj.
