SAVE Trust is closely working with all government line departments and advocacy for pro worker and program Panchayat in Mandal as well as in district level. We regularly attend the gram Panchayat monthly meeting, participate and contribute in successful implementation of the NREGA programmes. We are also guiding the beneficiaries in documenting the required paper works.

SAVE has asked Panchayat leaders to organize a gram sabha every month where villagers can voice their demands and their complaints during the training programme. SAVE helped to create awareness about NREGS facilities, and make villagers understand the value of the gram sabha and promote their participation in it.
