Organisational Strengthening Under ‘Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan’
Earlier, All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary KC Venugopal presided over a detailed review meeting at Indira Bhawan with General Secretaries, In-charges and PCC Presidents from the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan (SSA) states.
Directives Issued for Committee Formation
During the meeting on Monday, Venugopal directed the Pradesh Congress Committees (PCCs) to complete the formation of District Congress Committees (DCCs) within 15 days, Block Committees within 30 days, and Mandal, Gram Panchayat, and Booth Level Committees within 60 days.
The instructions also emphasised ensuring proper representation for all communities, including SC, ST, OBC, and minority groups, and organising training programmes at both district and block levels.
Under the SSA initiative, DCC Presidents have already been appointed in 14 states, covering 525 DCCs, and the process has been formally announced in six additional states.
Sharing updates on X, Venugopal wrote, “Held a detailed and productive meeting today at Indira Bhawan with the General Secretaries, In-charges and PCC Presidents from states where DCC Presidents have been appointed under the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan,” he wrote.
“As of now, the appointment of DCC Presidents under SSA has been successfully completed in 14 states, with 525 new DCC Presidents appointed. The process has also been formally announced in six more states, marking the next phase of organisational strengthening,” he added.
“We issued clear directions to PCCs to complete the formation of DCC committees within 15 days, Block Committees within 30 days, and Mandal, Gram Panchayat & Booth Level Committees within 60 days, while ensuring proper representation to all communities – especially for SC, ST, OBC & Minorities. They have also been instructed to hold training programmes at the District and Block levels,” the post stated.
Focus on Booth-Level Strengthening in Andhra Pradesh
Furthermore, Andhra Pradesh Congress President YS Sharmila said the discussion in the meeting centred on the organisation’s growth.
“It was about organisational strengthening. Most of the district presidents in the party have been appointed. The whole discussion was about how to take it up from there, down to the booth level,” she said.
