The welfare schemes and public policies of state governments should reach the citizens of the state at the grassroots level to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the same.

Use Of Digital Media For A Progressive State
The DIPR has also made several innovations in the field of digital media to empower people with knowledge and information.
